  2. Unipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unipolar_neuron

    The cell bodies of invertebrate unipolar neurons are often located around the edges of the neuropil, in the so-called cell-body rind. [3] Most neurons in the central nervous systems of vertebrates, including mammals, are multipolar. [4] In multipolar neurons, multiple processes extend from the cell body including dendrites and axons.

  3. Polarity (international relations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_(international...

    The closer to 1, the more concentrated power is. There is a general but not strict correlation between concentration and polarity. It is rare to find a result over 0.5, but a result between 0.4 and 0.5 usually indicates a unipolar system, while a result between 0.2 and 0.4 usually indicated a bipolar or multipolar system.

  4. Bipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_neuron

    Bipolar neurons exist within the vestibular nerve as it is responsible for special sensory sensations including hearing, equilibrium and motion detection. The majority of the bipolar neurons belonging to the vestibular nerve exist within the vestibular ganglion with axons extending into the maculae of utricle and saccule as well as into the ...

    2 Bipolar neuron 3 Multipolar neuron 4 Pseudounipolar neuron. Most neurons can be anatomically characterized as: [4] Unipolar: single process. Unipolar cells are exclusively sensory neurons. Their dendrites receive sensory information, sometimes directly from the stimulus itself. The cell bodies of unipolar neurons are always found in ganglia.

  6. Lateral flow test - Wikipedia

    A NASA illustration of a lateral flow assay. A lateral flow test (LFT), [1] is an assay also known as a lateral flow immunochromatographic test (ICT), or rapid test.It is a simple device intended to detect the presence of a target substance in a liquid sample without the need for specialized and costly equipment.

  7. Neuroimaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroimaging

    A CT scan can be performed in under a second and produce rapid results for clinicians, with its ease of use leading to an increase in CT scans performed in the United States from 3 million in 1980 to 62 million in 2007. Clinicians oftentimes take multiple scans, with 30% of individuals undergoing at least 3 scans in one study of CT scan usage. [36]

  8. Multipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipolar_neuron

    A multipolar neuron is a type of neuron that possesses a single axon and many dendrites (and dendritic branches), allowing for the integration of a great deal of information from other neurons. These processes are projections from the neuron cell body. Multipolar neurons constitute the majority of neurons in the central nervous system.

  9. Pyramidal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_cell

    Pyramidal cells, or pyramidal neurons, are a type of multipolar neuron found in areas of the brain including the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, and the amygdala. Pyramidal cells are the primary excitation units of the mammalian prefrontal cortex and the corticospinal tract.
