Definition of Endoginous
En*dog"e*nous (?), a.
1. (Bot.) Increasing by internal growth
and elongation at the summit, instead of externally, and having no
distinction of pith, wood, and bark, as the rattan, the palm, the
cornstalk.
2. (Biol.) Originating from within;
increasing by internal growth.
Endogenous multiplication (Biol.), a
method of cell formation, seen in cells having a cell wall. The
nucleus and protoplasm divide into two distinct masses; these in turn
become divided and subdivided, each division becoming a new cell,
until finally the original cell wall is ruptured and the new cells
are liberated (see Segmentation, and Illust. of Cell
Division, under Division). This mode of growth is
characteristic of many forms of cells, both animal and
vegetable.
