Cryptal
Definition:

(16) Observations on polyp size, number, distribution, histological appearance, and antigenic composition suggested that focal cryptal hyperplasia evolves into the hyperplastic polyp.
(17) Duodenal bicarbonate secretion is dependent on mucosal CA activity, and the distribution of CA II thus suggests that this alkaline secretion is of villous rather than cryptal origin.
(18) Grain counts per labelled nucleus of either cryptal (DNA-synthesizing) or villous (DNA-nonsynthesizing) cells nonhydrolyzed and hydrolyzed for various time intervals were recorded.
(19) Cytological calculations indicate that on the 1st and 2nd days after irradiation the number of epithelial cells of the villi, and particularly of young cryptal ones, markedly dropped.
(20) An increased colonic epithelial proliferation rate and an increase of the cryptal proliferative zone are probable markers of increased susceptibility to colonic cancer.
Crystal
Definition:
(n.) The regular form which a substance tends to assume in solidifying, through the inherent power of cohesive attraction. It is bounded by plane surfaces, symmetrically arranged, and each species of crystal has fixed axial ratios. See Crystallization.
(n.) The material of quartz, in crystallization transparent or nearly so, and either colorless or slightly tinged with gray, or the like; -- called also rock crystal. Ornamental vessels are made of it. Cf. Smoky quartz, Pebble; also Brazilian pebble, under Brazilian.
(n.) A species of glass, more perfect in its composition and manufacture than common glass, and often cut into ornamental forms. See Flint glass.
(n.) The glass over the dial of a watch case.
(n.) Anything resembling crystal, as clear water, etc.
