Midbody
| Definition | The midbody is the central region of the thin intercellular cytoplasmic bridge formed between daughter cells at the end of cytokinesis where dense antiparallel microtubules bundles overlap. The intercellular bridge often until abcission finally splits the sister cells apart. The midbody at post-abcission stages is called midbody remnant. |
