A particular Schwann's cell wraps itself about only a limited section of the axon. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
One is to interfere with the movement of the action potential down the intact axon. From Wordnik.com. [Neurotoxicity] Reference
The other mechanism is to cause structural damage to the axon or its myelin coating. From Wordnik.com. [Neurotoxicity] Reference
The axis cylinder, however, is the only part of the axon concerned in the transmission. From Wordnik.com. [Physiology and Hygiene for Secondary Schools] Reference
So I took simulated neuron axon (ph) potential and summed it over its normal distribution. From Wordnik.com. [CNN Transcript Dec 29, 2003] Reference
These axon runners from one cell connect through synapses to dendrite runners on other cells. From Wordnik.com. [Sequential Problem Solving A Student Handbook with Checklists for Successful Critical Thinking] Reference
They keep their original tree-branch shapes, the axon and dendrites of the typical nerve cell. From Wordnik.com. [Gravity's Rainbow]
The cell was narrowing in toward the axon and the skeptic waves were being enormously concentrated. From Wordnik.com. [Destination Brain]
A neuron consists of a cell body and two types of extensions, numerous dendrites, and a single axon. From Wordnik.com. [Neurotoxicity] Reference
As the electrical pulse proceeds up or down an axon, it encounters at least one junction or synapse. From Wordnik.com. [Neurotoxicity] Reference
The information (electrical charge) moves from the dendrites through the cell body and down the axon. From Wordnik.com. [Neurotoxicity] Reference
It has also been suggested that the myelin sheath serves somehow to maintain the integrity of the axon. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
At the terminal end of an axon is a synaptic knob, which contains chemicals, known as neurotransmitters. From Wordnik.com. [Neurotoxicity] Reference
The axon is like a thin line running down the axis of the interrupted cylinder formed by the myelin sheath. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
