Descriptor corpúsculos polares
Scope note: Células diminutas producidas durante el desarrollo de un OOCITO como cuando se encuentra bajo MEIOSIS. Un cuerpo polar contiene uno de los núcleos derivados desde la primera o segunda DIVISIÓN CELULAR meiótica. Los cuerpos polares prácticamente no tienen CITOPLASMA. Son finalmente desechados por el oocito. (Traducción libre del original: King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)

Scope note: Minute cells produced during development of an OOCYTE as it undergoes MEIOSIS. A polar body contains one of the nuclei derived from the first or second meiotic CELL DIVISION. Polar bodies have practically no CYTOPLASM. They are eventually discarded by the oocyte. (from King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)
