I had really bad polyps on my vocal cords, and I've had them since I was a kid, but the bulimia made it 10 times worse. They were bleeding constantly, and it was straining on my voice. And just the lack of nutrition - my vocal cords couldn't keep up because I was so unhealthy.

Coral is a very beautiful and unusual animal. Each coral head consists of thousand of individual polyps. These polyps are continually budding and branching into genetically identical neighbors.

Well, I've been lucky. I've never gotten a voice polyp. I've never gotten nodes. But I do get sick, usually every tour, and to varying degrees. Sometimes it's a sinusitis.

I had throat surgery. We had to check that out and make sure it wasn't cancerous. I had a polyp on my vocal cord, so I had that taken out.

I was sick. I had a polyp on my throat. It would have been foolish for me to go out on the road with the problem I had.

Used to describe benign growths in the body, can be precancerous.

Bodily Condition

Commonly used in medical discussions, may require treatment if problematic.

Medical Context

The term 'polyp' is neutral, not implying severity or urgency when mentioned.

Neutral Term

Refers to simple aquatic animals, often part of a larger colony or structure.

Marine Life

Marine polyps have a tubular body with tentacles around the mouth.

Distinct Appearance

Zoological polyps live underwater, commonly found in coral reefs.

Aquatic Habitat

 when you were just two days old. They attach in the place they find most suitable, they build a skeleton underneath themselves, they build a mouth and tentacles, and then they begin the difficult work of building the world's coral reefs. One coral polyp will divide itself again and again and again, leaving a limestone skeleton underneath itself

 But this polyp would continue and tell us that his neighbors were quite clearly identical copies of him. That he was in all these other locations as well, but experiencing them as separate individuals. For a coral, branching into different copies is the most natural thing in the world.

 However, it died in the lab as they were determining its age. The most interesting discovery of late, I think is the so-called immortal jellyfish, which has actually been observed in the lab to be able to be able to revert back to the polyp state

 It's doing what a healthy coral does. It's making copies of its polyps, it's fighting back the algae and it's reclaiming its territory. If a few polyps survive, a coral can regrow; it just needs time and protection and a reasonable temperature.

 the first of its kind in the Atlantic Ocean. Each project, we use materials and designs that help encourage life; a long-lasting pH-neutral cement provides a stable and permanent platform. It is textured to allow coral polyps to attach.

 These invertebrates can range from the size of a pinhead to a bit larger than a basketball. Each polyp consists of a soft, saclike body topped by a mouth covered in stinging tentacles. To protect their soft bodies and add support,

 Together, colonies of polyps produce large three-dimensional structures, which form the basis of an underwater metropolis. These coral complexes are full of nooks and crannies that house and protect countless life forms.

 At that point, they can transform into colon cancer, one of the most prevalent and preventable forms of cancer in the world. That's a slow though growth times vary, it often takes around ten years for a small polyp
