|---|---|---|
| GO:0005623 | cell | The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. Includes the plasma membrane and any external encapsulating structures such as the cell wall and cell envelope. |
| GO:0044464 | cell part | Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. |
| GO:0005575 | cellular_component | The part of a cell or its extracellular environment in which a gene product is located. A gene product may be located in one or more parts of a cell and its location may be as specific as a particular macromolecular complex, that is, a stable, persistent association of macromolecules that function together. |
| GO:0032155 | cell division site part | Any constituent part of the cell division plane, the eventual plane of cell division in a dividing cell. |
| GO:0032153 | cell division site | The eventual plane of cell division (also known as cell cleavage or cytokinesis) in a dividing cell. In Eukaryotes, the cleavage apparatus, composed of septin structures and the actomyosin contractile ring, forms along this plane, and the mitotic, or meiotic, spindle is aligned perpendicular to the division plane. In bacteria, the cell division site is generally located at mid-cell and is the site at which the cytoskeletal structure, the Z-ring, assembles. |
| GO:0009986 | cell surface | The external part of the cell wall and/or plasma membrane. |
| GO:0032154 | cleavage furrow | In animal cells, the first sign of cleavage, or cytokinesis, is the appearance of a shallow groove in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate. A contractile ring containing actin and myosin is located just inside the plasma membrane at the location of the furrow. Ring contraction is associated with centripetal growth of the membrane that deepens the cleavage furrow and divides the cytoplasm of the two daughter cells. While the term 'cleavage furrow' was initially associated with animal cells, such a structure occurs in many other types of cells, including unicellular protists. |
| GO:0097610 | cell surface furrow | A furrow that may be found on the cell surface. Examples are the cleavage furrow observed during cytokinesis in animal cells, and the cingulum and sulcus found in some dinoflagellates. |
