About eukaryotic cells the band Pseudopod band the podcast Pseudopod podcast Citations missing article date October 2007 Pseudopods or pseudopodia singular pseudopodium from the Greek language Greek word , fake, false feet are temporary projections of eukaryote eukaryotic cells . Cells that possess this faculty are generally referred to as amoeboid s. Pseudopodia extend and contract by the reversible assembly of actin subunits into microfilament s. Filaments near the cell s end interact with myosin which causes contraction. The pseudopodium extends itself until the actin reassembles itself into a network. This is how Amoeboid movement amoebas move , as well as some cells found in animals, such as white blood cells. Reproduction First, the cell surface extends a membrane process, a lamellipodium . Actin polymerization polymerizes , and, at its leading edge, the cell forms filaments that subsequently will blend into one another to form networks. It is supposed that actin polymerization is at the origin of the force propelling the cell forwards. Citation needed date February 2011 Pseudopodia which translates to false feet are temporary cytoplasm filled projections of the cell wall that certain eukaryotic cells use for motion or for ingesting nutrients. Most cells with this capability are referred to as amoeboids. Generally several pseudopodia arise from the surface of the body polypodial Amoeba proteus or a single pseudopodium may form on the surface of the body monopodial E.histolytica . Pseudopodia are formed by microtubule and filament structures. The cell surface projects a membrane process called the lamellipodium, which is supported inside by filaments that form at the leading edge, turning into networks as they blend together. Cytoplasm flows into the lamelliopdium, forming the pseudopodia.

They move by pseudopod ia. Similarly to some of the white blood cell s of vertebrate s, in many species amebocytes are found in the blood or body fluid and play a role in the defense of the organism against pathogen s. Depending on the species, it may also digest and distribute food, dispose of wastes, form skeletal fibers, fight infections, and change into other cell types. Also known as explosive cells. Limulus amebocyte lysate , an aequous extract of amebocytes from the horseshoe crab Limulus polyphemus , is commonly used in a test to detect bacteria l endotoxin s.

Unreferenced date December 2009 The Derelict is a short story by William Hope Hodgson , first published in 1912. As he does in many of his stories, Hodgson employs a framework or story within a story. In the framework, an elderly ship s doctor recounts a strange event that happened to him some years earlier, in the context of discussing his ideas about a fundamental life force that can manifest itself in the presence of proper materials. While sailing as a passenger, a sudden storm disables the ship. In the aftermath, a derelict vessel is discovered. A small boat is sent to investigate, since from a distance the shape of the vessel seems to indicate that it is surprisingly ancient. The captain is interested in possible salvage. Upon boarding the vessel, the investigators discover that it is encased in a thick fungus like encrustation. In order to go below the deck, the captain kicks the encrustation, which begins to spurt a reddish fluid, and a rhythmic thudding like a heartbeat is heard. The solid surface of the encrustation begins softening and heaving, becoming mobile and gelatinous, and actually begins to dissolve the shoes of the investigators, as if it is attempting to digest them. As events escalate, the lantern is dropped and extinguished in the frantic attempt that follows to escape the vessel, a crewman is killed as he falls on the undulating surface and it envelopes and dissolves his body. The doctor and the captain manage to get over the side into an old lifeboat where they beat off a pseudopod and manage to escape back to their own vessel. The doctor believes that the particular combination of cargo aboard the derelict, as it decayed, may have resulted in abiogenesis spontaneous generation of a new life form.

The cytoplasm slides and forms a pseudopodium in front to move the cell forward. This type of movement has been linked to changes in action potential the exact mechanism is still unknown. This type of movement is observed in amoeboids , slime mold s and some protozoa ns, as well as some cells in humans such as white blood cell leukocytes . Sarcoma s, or cancers arising from connective tissue cells, are particularly adept at amoeboid movement, thus leading to their high rate of metastasis. ref Stefano F.

Orphan date September 2011 In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role playing game , the Stunjelly is an Ooze Dungeons & Dragons ooze . They are relatives of the Gelatinous cube that were created by a forgotten mage to act as sentries. Stunjellies resemble thick, grey, slightly transparent stone walls. Similar to the Gelatinous Cube, they do not have quite as amorphous forms as other oozes, and must retain their geometric, wall esque shape. They live underground, and typically lurk in hallways, devouring all in their path.

Characteristics and habits Stunjellies attack, as their name suggests, by stunning really more surprising their victims. Adventurers walk by, sensing no danger due to the jelly looking like a wall, and when they have their back turned, the Stunjelly attacks with a anaesthetic pseudopod . The prey becomes paralyzed, and the jelly moves on top of them and engulfs them. Being not as acidic as other oozes, Stunjellies require brute strength to subdue prey. Their less than average acidity also means that they may have uncorrosed treasure, among other things, floating around inside them. Stunjellies, due to having less amorphous forms than other Oozes and being unable to slip under doors into areas they are not desired, they are sometimes tolerated in dungeons to act as sentries, killing those that enter, or as janitorial creatures they clean up by engulfing what is on the floor .
