It presupposes an active interposition of the glia cells between the axon of one neuron and the dendrons of another.
These appendages are of two kinds, one the axon, the long conducting fiber which transmits the nerve force of the cell, the other the dendrons or connecting elements by which the cell is linked with the axon of another cell.
The axon n runs toward the center, giving off in its course several collaterals.
The contact of the axon of one neuron with the dendrons of another is called a synapse.
Mr. Axonsays it is current in Lancashire and in Cornwall, Antiquary, xi.
These axon runners from one cell connect through synapses to dendrite runners on other cells.
In addition, when associations between parts of a thing remembered are formed, the nerve cell body sends outaxon runners to other associated memory cells.
Mr. Axon read a paper on the Formation of Small Libraries intended for the Co-Operative Congress in 1869, which was reprinted as a pamphlet of eight pages: "Hints on the Formation of Small Libraries intended for Public Use.
Mr. Axonalso contributed a paper at the First Annual Meeting of the Library Association.
There is the hair end-organ, consisting of a sensory axon coiled about the root of the hair; this, also, is a touch receptor.
A touch on a hair is so easily felt that we often think of the hairs as sensitive; but really it is the skin that is sensitive, or, rather, it is the sensory axon terminating around the root of the hair in the skin.
This central branch of the olfactory cell is, in fact, an axon; and it is peculiar in being an axon growing from a sense cell.
Cooerdination brought about by the branching of the axon of a central neurone.
There is the "spherical end-bulb", into which a sensory axon penetrates; it is believed to be the sense organ for cold.
The stimulus arouses the taste cell, and this in turn arouses the ending of the sensory axon that twines about the base of the cell at the back of the chamber.
Figure text: axon to brain cortex, dendrites, synapses in brain stem, axons of sense cells sense cells in nose.
A is a hair end-organ; the sensory axons can be seen coiling around the root of the hair; evidently a touch on the hair, outside, would squeeze the coiled axon and stimulate it.
The axon which communicates with the sense organ belongs to one nerve cell; the axon which connects with the muscle fiber belongs to a different nerve cell.
In the case of nerve paths to skeletal muscles the cell body of the motor nerve cell lies either in the spinal cord or the brain and its axon extends all the way from there directly to the muscle fibers.
We saw a moment ago that everyaxon is inclosed in a sheath.
This part of the axon is seen in the figure to have several branches; these are really branches of protoplasm and not separate axons coming off, as in the case of the nerve trunk.
Sandy-haired men have no age until they are fifty-five, and Axon was not fifty-five.
Louis shot away into the outer office, where Axonwas just putting on his hat to go to the bank.
Said Horrocleave in a still more peculiar tone-- "Just ask Axon whether he means to go fetch wages to-day or to-morrow.
In a, the elementary cell body alone is present; in c, a dendrite is shown projecting upward and an axon downward.
The truth probably is, that if all the captains had been as headlong as Axon and Batten, more of them would have shared the same fate.
These two vessels, commanded by Captains Axon and Batten, had the audacity to attach themselves to Tromp's flagship.
The central thread in the axon is the axis cylinder.
Neurons of this class consist of three distinct parts, known as the cell-body, the dendrites, and the axon (Fig.
The axis cylinder, however, is the only part of the axon concerned in the transmission.
The axon of each neuron ends in an elaborate series of fine branchings which lie in contact with the dendrites of another neuron, or in some cases with the body of the other cell (Fig.
An impulse is supposed to travel normally only in one direction through a neuron, the dendrites being the receiving and the axon the discharging terminals.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "axon" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
