1.
in anatomy: any process of bone; an out-growth of bone; a mere projection or protuberance, which has no independent ossific center, and is thus distinguished from an epiphysis (which see); specifically, any process of a vertebra, whether it has such a center, and thus is epiphysial in nature, or not: in the former case, a vertebral apophysis is called autogenous or endogenous; in the latter, exogenous. A process or outgrowth of some organ of the body, as the brain: as, apophysis cerebri, the pituitary body. see cut under brain. in chitons, a process of one of the plates, inserted into the mantle.
2. in botany, a swelling under the base of the theca or spore-case of some mosses, as in species of Splachnum. see cut under Andreæa.
3. in geology, a term applied to the arms which often extend outward in a horizontal direction from the main mass or dike of an intrusive igneous rock.
4. in architecture, same as apophyge.
