| axonal terminal boutons | The somewhat enlarged, often club-shaped endings by which axons make synaptic contacts with other nerve cells or with effector cells (muscle or gland cells). As isolated, by homogenizing brain or spinal cord, they contain acetylcholine and the related enzymes. Terminals contain neurotransmitters of various kinds, sometimes more than one. These can be demonstrated by chemical analysis and immunocytochemical methods. See: synapse. Synonym: axonal terminal boutons, end-feet, neuropodia, pieds terminaux, synaptic boutons, synaptic endings, synaptic terminals, terminal boutons, bouton terminaux. (05 Mar 2000) |

| axonal transport | Directed transport of organelles and molecules along a nerve cell axon. Transport can be anterograde (from the cell body) or retrograde (toward the cell body). (alberts et al., molecular biology of the cell, 3d ed, pg3) (12 Dec 1998) |
| axoneme | <cell biology> The central microtubule complex of eukaryotic cilia and flagella with the characteristic 9 + 2 arrangement of tubules when seen in cross-section. (12 Mar 1998) |
| axonin | <protein> Chick homologue of TAG 1. (18 Nov 1997) |
| axonogenesis | <cell biology> The growth and differentiation of axonal processes by developing neurons. See: axon. (12 Mar 1998) |
| axonography | The recording of electrical changes in axons. Synonym: electroaxonography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axonopathy | A disorder affecting primarily the axons of peripheral nerve fibres, (although secondary demyelination occurs) in contrast to one that affects only myelin (myelinopathy). (05 Mar 2000) |
| axonotmesis | Interruption of the axons of a nerve followed by complete degeneration of the peripheral segment, without severance of the supporting structure of the nerve; such a lesion may result from pinching, crushing, or prolonged pressure. See: neurapraxia, neurotmesis. Origin: axon + G. Tmesis, a cutting (05 Mar 2000) |
| axopetal | Extending in a direction toward an axon. Origin: axo-+ L. Peto, to seek (05 Mar 2000) |
| axoplasm | <cell biology> The cytoplasm of a neuron. (12 Mar 1998) |
| axoplasmic transport | Transport by way of flow of axoplasm toward cell soma (retrograde) or toward axon terminal (anterograde). (05 Mar 2000) |
| axopod | <cell biology> Thin processes (a few m in diameter but up to 500 m long), supported by complex arrays of microtubules, that radiate from the bodies of Heliozoa. (12 Mar 1998) |
| axopodium | A permanent pseudopodium containing a stiff axial filament of differentiated protoplasm. Synonym: axiopodium. Origin: Mod. L., fr. L. Axis + G. Podion, dim. Of pous (pod-), foot (05 Mar 2000) |
| axosomatic | Relating to the synaptic relationship of an axon with a nerve cell body. See: synapse. Origin: axo-+ G. Soma, body (05 Mar 2000) |
| axosomatic synapse | The synaptic junction of an axon terminal of one nerve cell to the cell body of another nerve cell. Synonym: pericorpuscular synapse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axostyle |
Tube-like organelle in some flagellate protozoa, that extends from the area of the kinetosome to the posterior end, where it often protrudes.
