  2. Pseudounipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudounipolar_neuron

    A pseudounipolar neuron has one axon that projects from the cell body for relatively a very short distance, before splitting into two branches. Pseudounipolar neurons are sensory neurons that have no dendrites, the branched axon serving both functions. [2] The peripheral branch extends from the cell body to organs in the periphery including ...

  3. Dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_column–medial...

    The first-order neuron is a pseudounipolar neuron (shown left), with a single axon originating from the cell body then splitting into two branches. The body is situated in the dorsal root ganglion, with one axon traveling peripherally to tissue, and one traveling into the dorsal column. On the right is a bipolar neuron.

  4. Afferent nerve fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afferent_nerve_fiber

    Afferent nerve fibers are axons (nerve fibers) of sensory neurons that carry sensory information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. Many afferent projections arrive at a particular brain region. In the peripheral nervous system, afferent nerve fibers are part of the sensory nervous system and arise from outside of the central ...

    Steve. Steve is a player character that was introduced to the 2009 version of the game by created by Minecraft 's developer Markus "Notch" Persson. Steve is the first of nine default player character skins available for players of contemporary versions of Minecraft. Steve lacks an official backstory as he is intended to be a customizable player ...

  6. Unipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unipolar_neuron

    Scale bar: 50 micrometres. [1] A unipolar neuron is a neuron in which only one process, called a neurite, extends from the cell body. The neurite then branches to form dendritic and axonal processes. Most neurons in the central nervous systems of invertebrates, including insects, are unipolar. [2] The cell bodies of invertebrate unipolar ...

  7. Mesencephalic nucleus of trigeminal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesencephalic_nucleus_of...

    Unlike many nuclei within the central nervous system (CNS), the mesencephalic nucleus contains no chemical synapses, neurons instead being electrically coupled. [4] Neurons of this nucleus are pseudounipolar, receiving proprioceptive afferent information from the mandible and sending efferent projections to the trigeminal motor nucleus to mediate the monosynaptic jaw jerk reflex.

  8. Inferior ganglion of vagus nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_ganglion_of_vagus...

    Nodosum’. The inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve (also known as the nodose ganglion) is one of the two sensory ganglia of each vagus nerve (cranial nerve X). It contains neuron cell bodies of general visceral afferent fibers and special visceral afferent fibers. [1] It is situated within the jugular fossa just below the skull.

  9. Dog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog

    The divergence of the eye axis of dogs ranges from 12 to 25°, depending on the breed, which can have different retina configurations. [41] [42] The fovea centralis area of the eye is attached to a nerve fiber, and is the most sensitive to photons. [43]
