The word cyst may have differing meaning depending on what branch of Biology you are referring to.

  • In pathology, a cyst is an abnormal sac that may contain liquid, pus, or gases.
  • In anatomy, a cyst is a vesicle that is in the body
  • Referring to parasites, cysts are small sacs that may contain certain organisms in their dormant or larval stage. Once they have entered the host, the cysts will break open and the parasite will start its development.
  • In botany, cyst is a spore with thick walls that are found in fungi.
