Karyostenosis :: Karyostenosis (n.) Direct cell division (in which there is first a simple division of the nucleus, without any changes in its structure, followed by division of the protoplasm of the karyostenotic mode of nuclear division..

Diaster :: Diaster (n.) A double star; -- applied to the nucleus of a cell, when, during cell division, the loops of the nuclear network separate into two groups, preparatory to the formation of two daughter nuclei. See Karyokinesis..

Thiophthene :: Thiophthene (n.) A double thiophene nucleus, C6H4S2, analogous to thionaphthene, and the base of a large series of compounds..

Kernel :: Kernel (n.) A small mass around which other matter is concreted; a nucleus; a concretion or hard lump in the flesh.

Karyokinesis :: Karyokinesis (n.) The indirect division of cells in which, prior to division of the cell protoplasm, complicated changes take place in the nucleus, attended with movement of the nuclear fibrils; -- opposed to karyostenosis. The nucleus becomes enlarged and convoluted, and finally the threads are separated into two groups which ultimately become disconnected and constitute the daughter nuclei. Called also mitosis. See Cell development, under Cell..

Intranuclear :: Intranuclear (a.) Within the nucleus of a cell; as. the intranuclear network of fibrils, seen in the first stages of karyokinesis..

Chromosome :: Chromosome (n.) One of the minute bodies into which the chromatin of the nucleus is resolved during mitotic cell division; the idant of Weismann.

Entoplastic :: Entoplastic (a.) Pertaining to, or composed of, entoplasm; as, the entoplastic products of some Protozoa, or the entoplastic modification of the cell protoplasm, by which a nucleus is produced..

Nucleolus :: Nucleolus (n.) A little nucleus.

Nuclear :: Nuclear (a.) Of or pertaining to a nucleus; as, the nuclear spindle (see Illust. of Karyokinesis) or the nuclear fibrils of a cell; the nuclear part of a comet, etc..

Gymnocyte :: Gymnocyte (n.) A cytode without a proper cell wall, but with a nucleus..

Mesoblast :: Mesoblast (n.) The cell nucleus; mesoplast.

Nucleate :: Nucleate (v. t.) To gather, as about a nucleus or center..

Uninucleated :: Uninucleated (a.) Possessed of but a single nucleus; as, a uninucleated cell..

Periblast :: Periblast (a.) The protoplasmic matter which surrounds the entoblast, or cell nucleus, and undergoes segmentation..

Nucleus :: Nucleus (n.) The tip, or earliest part, of a univalve or bivalve shell..

Trinucleus :: Trinucleus (n.) A genus of Lower Silurian trilobites in which the glabella and cheeks form three rounded elevations on the head.

Chalaza :: Chalaza (n.) The place on an ovule, or seed, where its outer coats cohere with each other and the nucleus..

Met- :: Met- () That two replacing radicals, in the benzene nucleus, occupy the relative positions of 1 and 3, 2 and 4, 3 and 5, 4 and 6, 5 and 1, or 6 and 2; as, metacresol, etc. See Ortho-, and Para-..

D8gregarin91 :: d8Gregarin91 (n. pl.) An order of Protozoa, allied to the Rhizopoda, and parasitic in other animals, as in the earthworm, lobster, etc. When adult, they have a small, wormlike body inclosing a nucleus, but without external organs; in one of the young stages, they are amoebiform; -- called also Gregarinida, and Gregarinaria..
