Definission: A cell shape that approximates a flattened or oblate ellipsoid. (see Table 1, Olenina, I., Hajdu, S., Edler, L., Andersson, A., Wasmund, N., Busch, S., Göbel, J., Gromisz, S., Huseby, S., Huttunen, M., Jaanus, A., Kokkonen, P., Ledaine, I. and Niemkiewicz, E. 2006.

Definission: A two dimensional oval shape (circular shape with two axes of symmetry, one axis longer than the other) that is displaced along the longer axis.
Definission: A two dimensional oval shape (circular shape with two axes of symmetry, one axis longer than the other) that is displaced along the longer axis.
Definission: A shape quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being such that every part of the surface or the circumference is equidistant from the center.
Definission: A color hue with medium-low wavelength of that portion of the visible spectrum lying between yellow and blue, evoked in the human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 490 to 570 nanometers.
Definission: A state of the cingulum wherein the end of the cingulum is lower than the beginning. Facing the ventral side of the cell, the cingulum on your right-hand side is higher than the cingulum on your left-hand side.
Definission: A convex 3-D shape quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's resembling a cone (a 3-D shape with a round cross section that tapers).
