(v. t.) To cast or throw out; to void, as excrement; to excrete, as the indigestible matter of the food; in an extended sense, to excrete by the lungs, skin, or kidneys.
Example Sentences:
(1) The umpires allow them a different one, perhaps because the previous incumbent was wet - it landed in a puddle, where the water-sucking thing had egested, apparently.
(2) Intracellular recordings from these neurons in the isolated central nervous system preparation while eliciting the ingestion and egestion motor program generally showed cyclic membrane potential oscillations in phase with both motor programs, indicating that these neurons receive synaptic feedback from the ingestion and egestion central pattern generator(s).
(3) Recordings from conscious owls plus simultaneous radiographic observations revealed characteristic gastrointestinal motility patterns associated with egestion.
(4) Each of these neurons elicited the egestion motor program or its characteristic components when stimulated intracellularly.
(5) Under the same external environmental conditions, the mating type II cells form and egest a higher number of food vacuoles when compared with mating type I cells.
(6) Leucocyte-egested material was harvested after the quantitative in-vitro phagocytosis of Neisseria meningitidis by rabbit or mouse polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
(7) Biliary excretion and subsequent fecal egestion of essentially unhydrolyzed sucrose esters is the principal route for the removal of intravenously administered olestra.
(8) During pellet egestion, contractions of abdominal muscles were not detected.
(9) This suggested that the amount of newly synthesized protein required for the exocytic egestion process was very small in relation to the total cell requirement for protein synthesis.
(10) This low level lead exposure also had no consistent effect on the regular egestion of pellets of undigested material by hawks.
(11) Mucous cells apparently use some of the reserves to synthesize their secretions which lubricate cells and prevent cell damage during egestion of waste through the aboral pore.
(12) Egestion of carmine particle-containing food vacuoles from the cytoproct of Tetrahymena pyriformis has been analyzed by high-speed cinemicrography.
(13) Evidence from the literature for the transformation of food vacuole membrane into disk-shaped vesicles both from condensing food vacuoles in the endoplasm and from egested food vacuoles at the cytoproct is presented.
(14) The pellet was moved out of the esophagus by antiperistalsis during the last 8--10 s before egestion.
(15) Exerting a differential effect on all four steps, CB inhibited DV release from the cytopharynx, egestion of defecation-competent DVs at the cytoproct and lengthened the duration but did not block the lysosomal fusion-digestion step of the acidic DVs; it was most potent in blocking acidification, which prevented both lysosomal fusion with the labeled DVs as well as DV egestion, the latter for more than 50 min.
(16) It is also shown that luminal plasma membranes undergo a very active ebb and flow during the egestive phase of secretion.
(17) Their formation is connected with egestion of the large bundles of fibers formed by phagocytosis.
(18) Both faecal output and worm fecundity respond as might be predicted to a period of host food deprivation; faecal egestion and measurements of epd are significantly depressed, and measurements of epg are significantly increased.
(19) The characteristic prolonged plateau potential of the VWC was frequently associated with the egestion motor program but never with the ingestion motor program or its characteristic components.
(20) But all of those papers have a basic assumption that the capacity of the environment is so large that the change of toxicants in the environment that comes from uptake and egestion by the organisms can be neglected.
Egesta
Definition:
(n. pl.) That which is egested or thrown off from the body by the various excretory channels; excrements; -- opposed to ingesta.
Example Sentences:
(1) These effects were compared with effects of a single dose of meningococcal lipopolysaccharide as well as leukocyte egesta containing degraded Staphylococcus epidermidis.
(2) The effects of a preparative dose of the leukocyte egesta containing degraded meningococci and a provocative dose of the meningococcal lipopolysaccharide on development of pathological lesions associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation were studied in tissues of 32 rabbits.
(3) Rabbits injected subcutaneously with egesta containing degraded meningococci followed after 12 h with meningococcal endotoxin (intravenously) exhibited heterophilic leukocytosis and disseminated intravascular coagulation mainly in the pulmonary capillaries and venules; focal necroses occurred in myocardium, lungs, and liver, whereas, cortical renal necrosis developed in lethal cases.
