cytode (sitod)

[ It is, neverthele , a deeply significant fact, that the building stones of the bodies of higher animals are never represented by cytodes , but always by cells. Frey, Histol, and His to chem. (trans.), p. 64. (b) A cell in general. I shall, therefore, a ume provisionally that the pri mary form of every animal is a nucleated protoplasmic body, cytode, or cell, in the most general acceptation of the latter term. Huxley, Anat. Invert., p. 583.
