One of the minute elementary structures, of which the greater part of the various tissues and organs of animals and plants are composed.

To place or inclose in a cell.

Minute protoplasmic masses that make up organized tissue, consisting of a nucleus which is surrounded by protoplasm which contains the various organelles and is enclosed in the cell or plasma membrane. Cells are the fundamental, structural, and functional units of living organisms. (Dorland, 28th ed)

A small room in a monastery, convent, or prison; a small cavity or hole; a tiny mass of living matter forming one of the units of every living body.

1. A minute structure, the living, active basis of all plant and animal organization, composed of a mass of protoplasm, enclosed in a delicate membrane and containing a differentiated part, the nucleus Cells are of the most varied form and structure according to the function which they have to perform; some are simple in structure and lead an independent or quasi-independent existence, being capable of reproduction and adaptation to environment; others are highly differentiated, fixed in form and location, and incapable of reproduction, self-nutrition, or locomotion. 2 A small closed or partly closed cavity such as the air cells, or alveoli, of the lungs, the spaces in cancellous bone-tissue, etc. 3. An element or unit of a galvanic battery, or the chamber containing the metals and acid media by the chemical action of which the electricity is produced. (For the cells not here defined see the qualifying word.).

A minute mass of protoplasm, generally containing a nucleus.

A small room: a cave: a small shut cavity.

To cover with a ceiling.

To cover with a ceiling.

Enclosed space in a prison or a convent; the small rude retreat of a hermit; a small cavity; a little bag or vesicle containing fluid or other matter; a little vessel or bladder which enters into the composition of cellular tissue.

To furnish with a ceiling.

A small chamber, space, cavity, or vesicle.

Elec. A single element of a voltaic battery.

A small confined room; an apartment in a prison; a small cavity; a private room in a nunnery or monastery.

A small cavity or hollow; a unit mass of protoplasm, usually containing a nucleus.

A small cavity. The same signification as cellule. Also, a vesicle composed of a membranous cell-wall, with, usually, liquid contents. The whole organized body may be regarded as a congeries of cells having different endowments, each set being concerned in special acts, connected with absorption, nutrition, and secretion, wherever an action of selection or elaboration has to be effected. These cells are generally termed primary, elementary, or primordial. When they give rise to other cells, they are, at times, termed parent or mother cells; the resulting cells being termed daughter cells.

Any one of the minute protoplasmic masses which make up organized tissue.

Originally one of the compartments in a honeycomb; hence any chamber or enclosed hollow space; an areola, or loculus; in this sense comprising the following subordinate meanings: (A), any small completely closed space, such as the small cavities in the mastoid and other bones, the alveoli of the lungs, and the cleftlike spaces or areolae of connective tissue. (B), a cavity opening upon a free surface, such as the crypts in the stomach of the camel and other ruminants, the cavities in the nests of wasps and bees, the depression or loculus in the anther, which contains the pollen, and, by a slight extension of meaning, the spaces or areolae upon the wings of insects, circumscribed by the nervures. (C), in microscopical technology, a chamber, open or closed, used for the examination and preservation of objects. (D), one of the similar elements or open chambers which constitute a galvanic battery or a battery of Leyden jars.

The elementary structural unit of living tissue, consisting of cytoplasm and nucleus.

n. [Latin] A small and close apartment, as in a prison or a monastery;—any small closed cavity;—a minute sac filled with fluid, fat, &c.;—the minute vessels which form the cellular membrane in animals, and the cellular tissue in plants.

A small cavity or hollow place; the cave or little habitation of a religious person; a small and close apartment in a prison; any small place of residence.
