Cytopyge
The cytopyge , also called cell juices , is a place in the cell membrane of many unicellular organisms , through which residues (e.g. residual bodies ) excreted from the cell are released to the outside through exocytosis . Toxins can also be eliminated with their help.
A cytopyge is mainly found in single cells with a hardened cell cortex ( pellicula ), especially ciliates . The cytopyge represents the end point of the cyclose , a fixed path of a food vacuole through the plasma from the cell mouth ( cytostome ) to the cell ax (cytopyge).
