Alloplasm
Definition
The differentiated part of a cell's cytoplasm that has become structurally modified to perform specific mechanical or physiological functions (such as myofibrils in muscle cells, neurofibrils in neurons, or vibratile cilia), as opposed to the fundamental protoplasm (trophoplasm) responsible for basic metabolism.
