Invagination means to fold inward or to sheath. In biology
Biology
Biology is a branch of the natural sciences concerned with the study of living organisms and their interaction with each other and their environment .... , this can refer to a number of processes.
Invagination is the morphogenetic processes by which an embryo
Embryo
An embryo is a multicellular organism ploidy eukaryote in its earliest stage of development, from the time of first cell division until birth, Egg , or germination.... takes form, and is the initial step of gastrulation
Gastrulation
Gastrulation is a phase early in the development of animal embryos, during which the morphology of the embryo is dramatically restructured by cell migration.... , the massive reorganization of the embryo from a simple spherical ball of cells
Cell (biology)
The cell is the structural and functional unit of all known Life organisms. It is the smallest unit of an organism that is classified as living, and is often called the building bricks of life.... , the blastula
Blastula
The blastula is an early stage of embryonic development in animals. It is also called blastosphere. It is produced by cleavage of a fertilized ovum and consists of a spherical layer of around 128 cells surrounding a central fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel.... , into a multi-layered organism
Organism
In biology, an organism is any life thing . In at least some form, all organisms are capable of response to stimulus , reproduction, growth and developmental biology, and maintenance of homeostasis as a stable whole.... , with differentiated germ layer
Germ layer
A germ layer is a group of cell s, formed during animal embryogenesis. Germ layers are particularly pronounced in the vertebrates; however, all animals more complex than sea sponge produce two or three primary tissue layers .... s: endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. More localized invaginations also occur later in embryonic development, to form coelom, etc.
In cell biology, the cleavage furrow is the indentation that begins the process of cytokinesis, by which animal and some algae cell s undergo cytokinesis.... during cytokinesis
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. It usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, and sometimes meiosis, splitting a binucleate cell in two, to ensure that chromosome number is maintained from one generation to the next.... in animal
Animal
Animals are a major group of multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the Kingdom Animalia or Metazoa. Their body plan eventually becomes fixed as they develop, although some undergo a process of metamorphosis later on in their life.... cells.
The inner membrane of a mitochondrion invaginates to form cristae, thus providing a much greater surface area to accommodate the protein complexes and other participants that produce ATP.
Endocytosis is the process by which cell s absorb material from outside the cell by engulfing it with their cell membrane. It is used by all cells of the body because most substances important to them are large Chemical polarity molecules that cannot pass through the hydrophobic plasma membrane or cell membrane.... and exocytosis
Exocytosis
Exocytosis is the durable process by which a cell directs the contents of secretory Vesicle_ out of the cell membrane. These membrane-bound vesicles contain soluble proteins to be secreted to the extracellular environment, as well as membrane proteins and lipids that are sent to become components of the cell membrane.... when a vesicle forms within the cell and the membrane closes around it.
In the humanities:
Used to explain a special kind of meta narrative. Used by Rosalyn Krauss and Jacques Derrida
Jacques Derrida
Jacques Derrida was a France philosophy born in Algeria, who is known as the founder of deconstruction, which was originally a translation of a Heideggerian term from Being and Time, also translated as 'De-structuring'.... (The Law of Genre, Glyph 7 (1980).
