Sentences with SPOROCYST (5)
Etym: [NL.; of uncertain origin.] (Zoöl.) Defn: A kind of larva, or nurse, which is prroduced within the sporocyst of certain trematodes by asexual generation.
The sporocyst generally develops from an egg, but in its turn produces other larvæ by internal budding, or by the subdivision of a part or all of its contents into a number of minute germs.
Around each sporoblast two membranes are successively secreted (exospore and endospore), which constitute the sporocyst (XIII.); the sporocyst and its contents forming the spore.
The spores of these forms have been regarded as gymnospores (naked), lacking the enveloping membranes (sporocyst) of the ordinary spores, and the sporozoites, consequently, as developed freely in the cyst.
But, strictly, the term spore should be used only in the latter connection, when a protective or resistant coat known as a sporocyst envelops the body of the spore.
