Examine a bit of sarcode under the microscope; note the spicules.
Sometimes used synonymously for the "sarcode" of the Protozoa.
Ectoplasm, ek′to-plasm, n. the exterior protoplasm or sarcode of a cell.
Usually the sarcode, issuing from the openings of the capsule, forms a stronger cylinder, with peculiar movements.
Some have only one, others have several openings, through which the sarcode flows.
The sarcode of all these deep-sea Rhizopods has many large black-brown pigment-cells.
Their cavity is wide and simple, and filled up by jelly (not by sarcode, as I supposed in my first description).
The fiber of sarcode, to which the constricted part has by tension been reduced, now snaps, and two organisms go free.
