electrocyte, n. Biol.|ɪˈlɛktrəʊsaɪt|
[f. electro- + -cyte.]
One of the cells of the electric organ of a fish which generate electricity.
1970M. V. L. Bennett in Ann. Rev. Physiol. XXXII. 474 The terms electroplaque(s), or what I find less satisfactory, electroplax(es) and electroplate(s), were originally used to describe generating cells that were markedly flattened. In some weakly electric fish the generating cells may be drum-shaped to tubular or may even be spinal neurons... I propose the more general term, electrocyte, to denote the generating cells of electric organs. 1977Jrnl. Neurol. Sci. XXXI. 2 Sternarchus electrocyte axons exhibit 2 types of nodes of Ranvier, which are differentiated in terms of electrical properties as well as morphology. 1982L. S. Smith Introd. Fish Physiol. vii. 190 The basic mechanism for producing electricity in an electrocyte (also called electroplax, electroplacque [sic] and electroplate) involves a broadly flattened cell which develops resting potentials similar to those of other muscle cells. |
