centrosome

A small mass of CYTOPLASM, lying near the nucleus of a cell and consisting of a pair of centrioles, which divides into two parts before cell division. These migrate to the poles of the cell and the spindle develops between them.

centrosome

an area of cell CYTOPLASM found near the nucleus, whose function is thought to be the organization of nuclear division since it is capable of assembling and disassembling MICROTUBULES. When nuclear division starts, the centrosome divides into two organizing centres which migrate to each pole (along with the CENTRIOLES, if present) and the spindle develops between them.
