cyto-, cyt-, -cyte, cytio-

A cellular system or the cellular systems of an organism; as well as, the subsystems, and functional components of the body.

The cytome is a collection of complex and dynamic cellular processes, structures, and functions, which are the basis of physiological processes.

The study of cell systems (cytomes) at a single cell level.

It combines bioinformatic knowledge in order to understand the molecular architecture and functionality of the cell system (cytome).

1. The study of the various structures of cells, and the shapes that exist in them. 2. The science of the shapes of cells.

1. The series of changes that a cell undergoes during the various stages of its existence.
2. The various changes that occur within a cell during the entire course of its life cycle.

Necrosis of cells.

The production of pathologic (disease) changes in cells: Cytopathogenesis occurs when the cells in the body are altered by the development of a disorder or serious affliction.

Relating to, or producing pathological changes in cells: To determine the cytopathogenetic effects on a living form, tests were performed on mice in the lab.

Relating to an agent, or substance, that causes a diseased condition in cells in contrast to histologic changes (microscopic anatomy, as opposed to gross anatomy which involves structures that can be observed with the naked eye): A cytopathogenic medium is used especially with reference to the effects observed in cells in tissue cultures.

A physician or scientist who specializes in disease changes within individual cells or cell types: A cytopathologist was consulted regarding the cell alterations of the mice that were tested in the lab during the experiments.
