| cytoplasmic bridges | Slender cytoplasmic strands connecting adjacent cells; in histological sections of the epidermis and other stratified squamous epithelia, the bridge's are processes attached by a desmosome and are shrinkage artifacts of fixation; true bridge's with cytoplasmic confluence exist between incompletely divided germ cells. Synonym: cell bridges, cytoplasmic bridges. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cytoplasmic gene | <molecular biology> A gene which occurs outside the nucleus of an eukaryote or outside the regular chromosomes of a bacteria. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cytoplasmic granules | Stored products of a cell's metabolic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cytoplasmic inclusion bodies | See: inclusion bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytoplasmic inheritance | <genetics> Inheritance of parental characters through a nonchromosomal means, thus mitochondrial DNA is cytoplasmically inherited since the information is not segregated at mitosis. In a broader sense the organisation of a cell may be inherited through the continuity of structures from one generation to the next. It has often been speculated that the information for some structures may not be encoded in the genomic DNA, particularly in protozoa that have complex patterns of surface organelles. See: maternal inheritance. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cytoplasmic matrix | A fluid cytoplasmic substance filling the interstices of the cytoskeleton. Synonym: cell matrix, cytomatrix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytoplasmic membrane | <cell biology> The membrane that surrounds a cells cytoplasm, separating it from the environment. It consists of a double layer of phospholipids and has proteins embedded in it. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus group | <virology> A group of viruses in the family Reoviridae which infects arthropods (like spiders, insects, crustaceans, horseshoe crabs, etc.). (09 Oct 1997) |
| cytoplasmic streaming | <cell biology> Bulk flow of the cytoplasm of cells. most conspicuous in large cells such as amoebae and the internodal cells of Chara where the rate of movement may be as high as 100 m/sec. See: cyclosis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cytoplasmon | The total extranuclear genetic information of a eukaryotic cell excluding that of mitochondria and plastids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytoplast | <cell biology> Fragment of cell with nucleus removed (in karyoplast), usually achieved by cytochalasin B treatment followed by mild centrifugation on a step gradient. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cytopoiesis | Formation of cells. Origin: cyto-+ G. Poiesis, a making (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytopreparation | Laboratory preparation of a cellular specimen for cytologic examination. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytoproct | <cell biology> Cell anus: region at posterior of a ciliate where exhausted food vacuoles are expelled. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cytoprotection | The process by which chemical compounds provide protection to cells against harmful agents. (12 Dec 1998) |

| cytochalasin |
Any of a group of fungal metabolites that interfere with the assembly and diassembly of actin filaments. One of the consequences of treating cells with these agents is that cleavage of the cytoplasm after nuclear division is prevented.
