Pseudopodium (su-do-po' -de-um) [-iptvdr/g, false ; Trove, 

 foot: pi. , Pseudopodia]. In biology, a temporary or 

 permanent, filose or lobose process of the exoplasm of 

 Rhizopoda, Heliozoa, Radiolaria, and other ameboid 

 cells ; leukocytes, plasmodia, etc. " There are two prin- 

 cipal sorts of pseudopodia, myxopodia and axopodia. 

 The former are not stiff, but protrusible and retractile ; 

 they can fuse with neighboring pseudopodia into a net- 

 work, and chiefly in the Rhizopoda, can collect into small 

 masses by flowing together outside the body at points 

 where they meet with food. Such myxopodia are 

 characteristic of the Rhizopoda, and most Radiolaria. 

 The axopodia, which are found in the Heliozoa and 

 in Acantharia among Radiolaria, are on the contrary, 

 more or less stiff, and not inclined to reticulate and 

 fuse. In their axes there generally runs a stiff axial 

 filament, a sort of elastic organ of support formed of 

 organic substance. These axial filaments run toward 

 the central point of the body — to the boundary of the 

 endoplasm (Actinosphccrium), or to the nucleus near 

 the center (Actinophrys), or they meet actually in the 

 center (Acantharia). All pseudopodia show more or 

 less swift granular streaming. " (Lang.)
