【讨论】granula和granule的区别？

granule 是n.颗粒,粒剂 的意思。复数：granules

granula 颗粒,粒剂;复数：granulae

White granules比较常见吧

常用表示制剂 granula, 表示形状granule.

有什么依据吗？国家药监局颁布的药品说明书上，微丸都是microgranules或pellets，我们公司也是用granule这个词。目前为止我还没见过granula这个用法。

“×色颗粒”，我们都是写× granules。下面是字典上的解释：

Granule is a generic term used for a small particle or grain. The generic term is used in a variety of specific contexts.
Granule (solar physics), visible structures in the photosphere of the Sun arising from activity in the Sun's convective zone
Granule (cell biology), any of several submicroscopic structures, some with explicable origins, others noted only as cell type-specific features of unknown function
"Azurophil granule", a structure characteristic of the azurophil eukarytotic cell type
"Chromaffin granule", a structure characteristic of the chromophil eukaryotic cell type
Martian spherules, spherical granules of material found on the surface of the planet Mars
a specified grain size of 2–4 millimetres (-1– -2 on the φ scale)


Granula was the first manufactured breakfast cereal invented by James Caleb Jackson in 1863. Granula was an early version of Grape-Nuts, comprising of heavy grains of bran-rich Graham flour. The grains had to be soaked overnight before use.The cereal was manufactured from a dough of Graham flour rolled into sheets and baked. The dried sheets were then broken into pieces, baked again, and broken into smaller pieces.

这个是对一个产品的解释,并不是granula这个单词的解释

granula这个词挺少见的，词典上只有这么一个。我觉得应该用granule.

granula我估计应该是个笔误,从granular而来, 但是用的多了,就正确了

在农药里面这个granula用过.

谢谢几位版主的分析，学到不少
其实，我们最初倒是用的granule，
但是，没有加复数，我觉得有点问题，
结果一查发现怎么还有一个长得差不多的granula?
google了一下，后者也是有用到的。
所以，感觉有点困惑。
