  2. Olivary body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivary_body

    The olive consists of two parts: The inferior olivary nucleus (or 'complex'), which is a part of the olivo-cerebellar system and is mainly involved in cerebellar motor-learning and function. The superior olivary nucleus, considered part of the pons and part of the auditory system, aiding the perception of sound.

  3. Superior olivary complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_olivary_complex

    The superior olivary complex (SOC) or superior olive is a collection of brainstem nuclei that is located in pons, functions in multiple aspects of hearing and is an important component of the ascending and descending auditory pathways of the auditory system.

  5. Inferior olivary nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_olivary_nucleus

    The inferior olivary nucleus (ION) has a distinct laminar structure. [1] It is located posterior to the pyramid but anterior to the inferior cerebellar peduncle. These lamina house the cell bodies of the olivocerebellar fibers. These neurons are the major input source for the cerebellum. [1] Their axons are referred to as climbing fibers.

    Leaf anatomy in most C 4 plants. A: Mesophyll cell B: Chloroplast C: Vascular tissue D: Bundle sheath cell E: Stoma F: Vascular tissue 1. CO 2 is fixed to produce a four-carbon molecule (malate or aspartate). 2. The molecule exits the cell and enters the bundle sheath cells. 3. It is then broken down into CO 2 and pyruvate.

  7. Organ system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_system

    Plants have two major organs systems. Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system, and a root system. The shoot system consists stems, leaves, and the reproductive parts of the plant (flowers and fruits). The shoot system generally grows above ground, where it absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis. The root system ...

  8. Olivocochlear system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivocochlear_system

    The olivocochlear system is a component of the auditory system involved with the descending control of the cochlea.Its nerve fibres, the olivocochlear bundle (OCB), form part of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIIIth cranial nerve, also known as the auditory-vestibular nerve), and project from the superior olivary complex in the brainstem to the cochlea.

  9. Phloem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phloem

    Phloem (/ ˈ f l oʊ. əm /, FLOH-əm) is the living tissue in vascular plants that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis and known as photosynthates, in particular the sugar sucrose, [1] to the rest of the plant. This transport process is called translocation. [2]
