cytoplasmic bridges

These cells are connected by cytoplasmic bridges with oocytes.

Consequently cytoplasmic bridges assure connection between the clones of differentiating daughter cells to form a syncytium.

During oogenesis, cytoplasmic bridges called "ring canals" connect the forming oocyte to nurse cells.

Type Ap spermatogonia repeatedly divide mitotically to produce identical cell clones linked by cytoplasmic bridges.

The heart is effectively a syncytium, a meshwork of cardiac muscle cells interconnected by contiguous cytoplasmic bridges.

The peripheral blastomeres of the YSL appear to maintain cytoplasmic bridges with the yolk cell.

In Drosophila, fwd gene function is required for the formation of ring canals and cytoplasmic bridges during cytokinesis in male meiosis.
