Cation


Definition:

  • (n.) An electro-positive substance, which in electro-decomposition is evolved at the cathode; -- opposed to anion.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The actions of the polyvalent cationic dye Ruthenium Red and the enzyme neuraminidase were studied at the frog neuromuscular junction.
  • (2) Interaction of viable macrophages with cationic particles at 37 degrees C resulted in their "internalization" within vesicles and coated pits and a closer apposition between many segments of plasmalemma than with neutral or anionic substances.
