| axo- | Axis; axion. Origin: G. Axon, axis (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| axoaxonic | Relating to synaptic contact between the axon of one nerve cell and that of another. See: synapse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axoaxonic synapse | The synaptic junction between an axon terminal of one neuron and either the initial axon segment or an axon terminal of another nerve cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axodendritic | Pertaining to the synaptic relationship of an axon with a dendrite of another neuron. See: synapse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axodendritic synapse | The synaptic contact between an axon terminal of one nerve cell and a dendrite of another nerve cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axofugal | Synonym: axifugal. Origin: axo-+ L. Fugio, to flee (05 Mar 2000) |
| axograph | A device for recording scales or axes of predetermined magnitude on kymographic records. Origin: axo-+ G. Grapho, to write (05 Mar 2000) |
| axokinin | <protein> Axonemal protein (56 kD) that, when phosphorylated by a cAMP dependant protein kinase, reactivates the axoneme. (18 Nov 1997) |
| axolemma | <cell biology> Plasma membrane of an axon. (12 Mar 1998) |
| axolotl | <zoology> Ambystoma mexicanum, a type of salamander native to Mexico and the Western United States which spends all of its life underwater. Even as an adult animal, the axolotl retains many larval features, most notably its external gills: as a result the axolotl is an excellent example of the phenomenon of neoteny. The axolotl also has four legs and a tadpole-like tail and is an endangered species. (12 Mar 1998) |
| axolysis | Destruction or dissolution of a nerve axon. Origin: axo-+ G. Lysis, dissolution (05 Mar 2000) |
| axon | <cell biology> A long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells. Each nerve cell has one axon, which can be over a foot long. A nerve cell communicates with another nerve cell by transmitting signals from the branches at the end of its axon. At the terminal end of the axon, the impulses are transmitted to other nerve cells or to effector organs. In the peripheral nervous system, the larger (myelinated) axons are surrounded by a myelin sheath formed by concentric layers of plasma membrane of the schwann cell. In the central nervous system, the function of the schwann cell is supplied by oligodendrocytes (oligodendroglia). See: dendrite. (03 Jul 1999) |
| axon degeneration | A type of peripheral nerve fibre response to insult, wherein axon death and subsequent breakdown occurs, with secondary breakdown of the myelin sheath associated; caused by focal injury to peripheral nerve fibres; often referred to as wallerian degeneration. Synonym: axon degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axon hillock | <cell biology> Tapering region between a neuron's cell body and its axon. This region is responsible for summating the graded inputs from the dendrites and producing action potentials if the threshold is exceeded. (12 Mar 1998) |
| axon loss polyneuropathy | A type of polyneuropathy in which axon degeneration is the sole/predominant feature; many aetiologies, particularly toxic and metabolic; on nerve conduction studies, affects amplitudes of the responses, but does not cause conduction slowing or block. Synonym: axonal polyneuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
