| elementary body |
1. old term for platelet. 2. an inclusion body. 3. the infectious extracellular form of Chlamydia, consisting of electron-dense nuclear material and a few ribosomes surrounded by a rigid trilaminar wall. Elementary bodies are taken up into cells where they reorganize into reticulate bodies (qv); following reproduction, chlamydiae are released from the cell as elementary bodies.
