kary-, karyo-, cary-, caryo- +
(Greek: nut, walnut; kernel; cell, cell nucleus)
karyomere, caryomere
1. A vesicle containing only a small portion of the nucleus.
2. Any of a series of small nuclei resulting when chromosomes which are widely placed on the spindle diverge at anaphase; the third stage of division of the nucleus of a cell in either meiosis or mitosis.
2. Any of a series of small nuclei resulting when chromosomes which are widely placed on the spindle diverge at anaphase; the third stage of division of the nucleus of a cell in either meiosis or mitosis.
Meiosis is the process of cell division during which the nucleus divides into four nuclei, each of which contains half the usual number of chromosomes.
Mitosis is the process of cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes.
This condition occurs commonly during cleavage in some animal cells and can be induced chemically in others.
karyometry, caryometry
The measurement of the nuclei of cells.
karyomicrosome, caryomicrosome
1. Any one of the small tangible bodies or segments of chromatin fiber.
2. A small granule or particle occurring within the cell nucleus.
2. A small granule or particle occurring within the cell nucleus.
karyomit
A single chromatin fibril of the network within the nucleus of a cell; a chromosome.
karyomitome, karyoreticulum
The fibrillar (small slender fiber or filament) chromatin network within the nucleus of a cell.
The chromatin is the substance that forms chromosomes and contains DNA, RNA, and various proteins.
karyomitotic
1. A reference to karyomitosis or division of the nucleus, usually an early stage in the process of cell division, or mitosis (process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells, each of which has the same number of chromosomes as the original cell).
2. The division of the cytoplasm of a cell following the division of the nucleus.
2. The division of the cytoplasm of a cell following the division of the nucleus.
karyomorphism, caryomorphism; karyomorphic
The form or shape of a cell nucleus; especially, that of a leukocyte.
karyon, karyoplast
The nucleus of a cell.
karyontic
A reference to the nucleus of a cell.
karyophage, caryophage
An intracellular protozoan parasite that feeds on and so destroys the nucleus of the host cell.
karyophagic, karyophagous
Referring to an intracellular protozoan parasite that destroys the nucleus of the cell it infects.
karyophil, caryophil
Staining easily with thiazinammonium stains.
karyopyknosis
Shrinkage of the nucleus of the cell with condensation of the chromatin.
karyopyknotic
Descriptive of the state of a cell in which the nucleus has shrunk and the chromatin has condensed into solid masses; as in cornified (horny) cells of stratified squamous epithelium (small scale-shaped cells).
karyorrhexis
Fragmentation of the chromatin in nuclear disintegration.
A cross reference of word units that are related, directly or indirectly, to "cell, cells, cell nucleus": celli-; cellulo-; cyto-; endothelio-; gameto-; glio-; neuro-.
