Ameboid

Blood platelets possess the power of ameboid movement. ❋ Unknown (1918)

By means of these ameboid properties the cells have the power of wandering or emigrating from the bloodvessels by penetrating their walls and thus finding their way into the extravascular spaces. ❋ Unknown (1918)

These marrow cells proper, or myelocytes, resemble in appearance lymphoid corpuscles, and like them are ameboid; they generally have a hyaline protoplasm, though some show granules either oxyphil or basophil in reaction. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The cells which it encloses are possessed of ameboid movement. ❋ Unknown (1918)

Large rounded cells, termed splenic cells, are also seen; these are capable of ameboid movement, and often contain pigment and red-blood corpuscles in their interior. ❋ Unknown (1918)

In an ameboid cell, there is a framework of spongioplasm, which stains with hematoxylin and similar reagents, enclosing in its meshes a clear substance, hyaloplasm, which will not stain with these reagents. ❋ Unknown (1918)

If this view be true, it is a matter of great interest, and, as Schäfer has shown, harmonizes the contraction of muscle with the ameboid action of protoplasm. ❋ Unknown (1918)

” They can be further recognized by their irregular form and ameboid processes, and by the fact that their cytoplasm has no affinity for ordinary stains, but assumes a brownish tinge when treated by osmic acid. ❋ Unknown (1918)

Leucocytes are defined to be "minute, nucleated, colorless masses of protoplasm, capable of ameboid movements, found swimming freely in blood and lymph, in the reticulum of lymphatic glands, and in bone-marrow and other connective tissue." ❋ Martha Meir Allen (1890)

It is well known that the moment the leucocytes are submitted to an alcoholic solution, their ameboid movements cease, and their function is arrested. ❋ Martha Meir Allen (1890)

They embrace and enfold the pathogenic germs with which they come in contact by what is known as an ameboid force. ❋ Martha Meir Allen (1890)

In health the blood passes through these capillaries with a regular current, the red cells or corpuscles floating rapidly in the fluid in the center of the channel, while the white or ameboid cells are attracted to the walls of the vessels and move very slowly. ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)

Whether the cell in an inflamed part is the white ameboid cell of the blood or the fixed connective tissue embedded in the fibers, it multiplies in the same way. ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)

What can they do but declare victory and ooze away with their one-celled "ameboid movement" after unintentionally dispensing with the nation they themselves deemed "indispendable?" ❋ Unknown (2009)

But that wasn't what did it -- it was when he finished his concoction and proudly held the drink up to the camera, and then, as he pointed at the swirly ameboid forms in the drink, he beamed and said, "It's like an Eagles concert in a glass!" ❋ Unknown (2009)
