| Golgi zone | <cell biology> Part of the cytoplasm occupied by the Golgi apparatus, in secretory cells of exocrine glands, a zone between the nucleus and the luminal surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Holmgren-Golgi canals | <cell biology> Intracellular stack of membrane bounded vesicles in which glycosylation and packaging of secreted proteins takes place. Part of the GERL complex. Synonym: Golgi body, Golgi vesicles, dictyosome (in plants), parabasal body (in flagellate protozoa). (11 Jan 1998) |
| trans Golgi network | <cell biology> A complex of membranous tubules and vesicles, near the trans face of the Golgi, which is thought to be a major intersection for intracellular traffic of vesicles. (18 Nov 1997) |
| trans-Golgi reticulum | That part of the Golgi apparatus that takes newly processed proteins and delivers them to secretory vesicles that will fuse with other biomembranes (e.g., the plasma membrane). (05 Mar 2000) |
| autonomic motor neuron | See: motor neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bipolar neuron | A neuron that has two processes arising from opposite poles of the cell body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnocellular neuron | <anatomy, neurology> A neuron in the magnocellular region of the brain. Perhaps the first class of neuron from the central nervous system shown to be sensitive to nerve growth factor (that had previously been thought only to act at the periphery). (18 Nov 1997) |
| ganglionic motor neuron | See: motor neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mauthner neuron | <biology, marine biology> Large neuron in the mesencephalon of fishes and amphibians. A rare example of an individually identifiable neuron in a vertebrate nervous system. (18 Nov 1997) |
| visceral motor neuron | See: motor neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cell adhesion molecules, neuron-glia | Cell adhesion molecules that mediate neuron-neuron adhesion and neuron-astrocyte adhesion. They are expressed on neurons and schwann cells, but not astrocytes and are involved in neuronal migration, neurite fasciculation, and outgrowth. Ng-cam is immunologically and structurally distinct from ncam (neural cell adhesion molecules). (12 Dec 1998) |
| cholinergic neuron | <physiology> Neurons in which actylcholine is the neurotransmitter. (15 Jan 1998) |
| piriform neuron layer | The layer of Purkinje cells between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellar cortex. Synonym: stratum neuronorum piriformium, ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex, layer of piriform neurons, Purkinje's layer, stratum gangliosum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor neuron | Synonym for motoneuron. (18 Nov 1997) |
| motor neuron disease | <disease> Degenerative disease of unknown cause that affects predominantly motor neurons of spinal cord, cranial nerve nuclei and motor cortex. There is speculation that deficiency in ciliary neurotrophic factor may be involved. (18 Nov 1997) |
