Primordium

A mass of cells form a structure called the primordium and these divide extensively as new plant organs and tissues are formed. ❋ CC (2008)

At this point -- one not merely theoretical, or speculatively possible only, but absolutely fixed and determinable in our backward survey of the vital forces of nature -- we find individual parentage lost in a natural matrix, or in the vital principle implanted as a "primordium," in the earth itself. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)

The whole controversy, as at present conducted by the materialists and vitalists, resolves itself into this one question: -- Whether life springs from what Dr. Harvey calls a "primordium," -- a pre-existing vital germ or unit -- or whether it originates _de novo_, as the materialists assert, from infusions contained in their experimental flasks, or from plastide particles contained in protoplasmic matter, or from the still more daring hypothesis of "molecular machinery" as worked by molecular force? ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)

From this primordium came the Progenitors, the First Races of Reason—Dragon and Giant and Goblin and Shay. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This changes, perhaps, the rate of growth of the embryonic primordium of the jaw. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)

I know he quit primordium because of similar problems, and I'd be an idiot ignore the possibility that he's about ready to quit this band too. ❋ Mesocyclone (2006)

So anyway, I guess primordium is taking a long time to write new songs or something, and he wants to start up another metal band, something more technical and more modern grind. ❋ Mesocyclone (2005)

They know that all the different cells that form the gland arise from a single primordium. ❋ Tess Gerritsen (1997)

The primordium of the central nervous system originates in the ectoderm of the dorsal surface, starting from the blastopore and coming forward as a thickened plate shaped like a shield with its anterior half broader than its posterior. ❋ Unknown (1965)

These in turn are flanked on either side by the lateral plates from which arises the primordium of the coelum. ❋ Unknown (1965)

For it is evident that he uses the word "egg," in its more general sense, as designating any material substance capable of receiving his "primordium" (first principle of life) and developing itself into a living organism. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)

Sequetur L, quae validum nescio quid partem palati qua primordium dentibus superis est lingua trudente, diducto ore personabit. ❋ Frances Ellen Lord (N/A)
