  2. Projection fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_fiber

    Projection fibers consist of efferent and afferent fibers uniting the cortex with the lower parts of the brain and with the spinal cord. In human neuroanatomy, bundles of axons (nerve fibers) called nerve tracts , within the brain, can be categorized by their function into association tracts , projection tracts , and commissural tracts .

  3. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another.

  5. Projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection

    Projection (set theory), one of two closely related types of functions or operations in set theory; Projection (measure theory), use of a projection map in measure theory; 3D projection, any method of mapping three-dimensional points to a two-dimensional plane; Vector projection, orthogonal projection of a vector onto a straight line

  6. Neurite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurite

    A neurite or neuronal process refers to any projection from the cell body of a neuron.This projection can be either an axon or a dendrite.The term is frequently used when speaking of immature or developing neurons, especially of cells in culture, because it can be difficult to tell axons from dendrites before differentiation is complete.

  7. Tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomography

    To render a 2D projection of the 3D data set, one first needs to define a camera in space relative to the volume. Also, one needs to define the opacity and color of every voxel. This is usually defined using an RGBA (for red, green, blue, alpha) transfer function that defines the RGBA value for every possible voxel value.

  8. Biochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemistry

    Biochemistry, or biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. [1] A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful at ...

  9. Newman projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newman_projection

    This projection most commonly sights down a carbon-carbon bond, making it a very useful way to visualize the stereochemistry of alkanes. A Newman projection visualizes the conformation of a chemical bond from front to back, with the front atom represented by the intersection of three lines (a dot) and the back atom as a circle.
