Zooid
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, or resembling, an animal.
(n.) An organic body or cell having locomotion, as a spermatic cell or spermatozooid.
(n.) An animal in one of its inferior stages of development, as one of the intermediate forms in alternate generation.
(n.) One of the individual animals in a composite group, as of Anthozoa, Hydroidea, and Bryozoa; -- sometimes restricted to those individuals in which the mouth and digestive organs are not developed.
Example Sentences:
(1) 5-HT antigenicity in the postpharyngeal commissure indicates the initiation of the development of a new zooid.
(2) At the onset of takeover (T = 3 hr), B3F12.9 immunostaining became diffuse or absent at the anterior end, which paralleled the axis of contraction of the dying zooid, whereas the posterior end retained its labeling integrity.
(3) The latter process is similar to the degeneration of old individuals, or zooids, that precedes maturation of each new generation of asexual buds.
