A protoplasmic animal cell ;
esp .,
such as float free ,
like blood ,
lymph ,
and pus corpuscles ;
or such as are imbedded in an intercellular matrix ,
like connective tissue and cartilage corpuscles .

{
Red blood corpuscles } (
Physiol .),
in man ,
yellowish ,
biconcave ,
circular discs varying from 1 /
3500 to 1 /
3200 of an inch in diameter and about 1 /
12400 of an inch thick .
They are composed of a colorless stroma filled in with semifluid h [
ae ]
moglobin and other matters .
In most mammals the red corpuscles are circular ,
but in the camels ,
birds ,
reptiles ,
and the lower vertebrates generally ,
they are oval ,
and sometimes more or less spherical in form .
In Amphioxus ,
and most invertebrates ,
the blood corpuscles are all white or colorless .
{
White blood corpuscles } (
Physiol .),
rounded ,
slightly flattened ,
nucleated cells ,
mainly protoplasmic in composition ,
and possessed of contractile power .
In man ,
the average size is about 1 /
2500 of an inch ,
and they are present in blood in much smaller numbers than the red corpuscles .

Amber ;

the alloy of gold and silver ,
called {

[

2 . (
Physics &
Chem .)
one of the fundamental subatomic particles ,
having a negative charge and about one thousandth the mass of a hydrogen atom .
The electron carries (
or is )
a natural unit of negative electricity ,
equal to 3 .
4 x 10 ^{-
10 }
electrostatic units ,
and is classed by physicists as a {
lepton }.
Its mass is practically constant at the lesser speeds ,
but increases due to relativistic effects as the velocity approaches that of light .
Electrons are all of one kind ,
so far as is known .
Thus far ,
no structure has been detected within an electron ,
and it is probably one of the ultimate composite constituents of all matter .
An atom or group of atoms from which an electron has been detached has a positive charge and is called a {
cation }.
Electrons are projected from the cathode of vacuum tubes (
including television picture tubes )
as {
cathode rays }
and from radioactive substances as the {
beta rays }.
Previously also referred to as {
corpuscle },
an obsolete term .
The motion of electrons through metallic conductors is observed as an electric current .
A particle identical to the electron in mass and most other respects ,
but having a positive instead of a negative charge ,
is called a {
positron },
or {
antielectron }
