In cell biology, the "midbody" is a structure that forms during the later stages of cell division, specifically during cytokinesis, which is the process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. The midbody is formed from the remnants of the spindle apparatus and consists of a bundle of microtubules and associated proteins. It acts as a physical connection between the two daughter cells as they are separating.
