| microfilament |
Actin is a globular protein that polymerize helicaly forming actin filaments (or microfilaments), which like the other two components of the cellular cytoskeleton form a three-dimensional network inside an eukariotic cell. Actin filaments provide mechanical support for the cell, determine the cell shape, enable cell movements (through pseudopods); and participate in certain cell junctions, in cytoplasmic streaming and in contraction of the cell during cytokinesis. ...

| microglia |
Microglia act as the immune cells of the Central nervous system. Microglia are close cousins of other phagocytic cells including macrophage and dendritic cells. Microglia are derived from myeloid progenitor cells (the same as macrophages and dendritic cells) which come from the bone marrow. During embryonic development however, they migrate to the CNS to differentiate into microglia. ...

| microscopic |
A term used to describe tiny dimensions, compared with the everyday or macroscopic dimensions of the world that can be directly perceived with the senses. The distinctions come into their own when contrasting a description of the world couched in terms of individual atoms and molecules with one that relies on global properties of vast numbers of atoms and molecules.

| microcalcification |
A tiny deposit of calcium in the breast that cannot be felt but can be detected on a mammogram. A cluster of these very small specks of calcium may indicate that cancer is present.
