Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: membranella n.

Etymology: Alteration of membranella n., after organelle n.

Biology.

1910 G. N. Calkins Protozoöl. (U.K. ed.) i. 50 Rows of small membranes, called membranelles, are found in three of the four orders of ciliata.

1935 Science 19 July 69/2 The metachronal wave covers seven membranelles, five of which are in effective stroke, two in recovery.

1975 Genetics 81 631 Instead of the usual three membranelles some cells have a greater number, most frequently 4 or 5, but occasionally up to 7.

1991 R. S. K. Barnes & K. H. Mann Fund. Aquatic Ecol. (ed. 2) x. 193/1 In Cyclidum, a water current is driven by a group of membranelles (cilia placed so closely that they move together as if joined) towards a row of cilia about 0.25 mm apart.
