1. The cells may be phagocytosed by histiocytes or multinucleated giant cells. 2. With the sealing zone in place, the multinucleated osteoclast reorganizes itself. 3. These multinucleated cells appear very similar to virally induced syncytia. 4. Biopsy shows multinucleated giant cells and thus the name. 5. The chlorarachniophytes form multinucleate cells by fusion, being syncytia and not coenocytes. 6. Occasional osteoclast-like giant multinucleated cells are encountered particularly at the periphery. 7. Most acantharean species of protozoa and some fungi in mycorrhizae have naturally multinucleated cells. 8. Osteoclasts are large, multinucleated bone cells that conduct the process of bone resorption. 9. Much of the body is composed of syncitial tissue, extensive regions of multinucleate cytoplasm. 10. These grow into multinucleated masses-megaloschizonts.
