Bioplast
in biology, a little nucleus of germinal matter, many of which are scattered through the tissues of the body .
It is from these that the growth of new matter proceeds. In the process of healing of a wound near the surface of the body, lymph is poured out, in which may be found bioplasts which have descended from white blood corpuscles. Of these , some produce epithelium, others fibrous connective tissue, unless they be too freely nourished, in which case they grow and multiply rapidly, and no kind of tissue whatever results, but pus is alone formed.
