    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microglia

    This form of microglial cell is commonly found at specific locations throughout the entire brain and spinal cord in the absence of foreign material or dying cells. This "resting" form of microglia is composed of long branching processes and a small cellular body.

  4. Amyloid plaques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_plaques

    Amyloid beta (Aβ) is a small protein, most often 40 or 42 amino acids in length, that is released from a longer parent protein called the Aβ-precursor protein (APP). [24]

  5. Cisterna chyli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisterna_chyli

    In humans, the cisterna chyli is located posterior to the abdominal aorta on the anterior aspect of the bodies of the first and second lumbar vertebrae (L1 and L2). There it forms the beginning of the primary lymph vessel, the thoracic duct, which transports lymph and chyle from the abdomen via the aortic opening of the diaphragm up to the junction of left subclavian vein and internal jugular ...

  6. Amyloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid

    Amyloid is formed through the polymerization of hundreds to thousands of monomeric peptides or proteins into long fibers. Amyloid formation involves a lag phase (also called nucleation phase ), an exponential phase (also called growth phase ) and a plateau phase (also called saturation phase ), as shown in the figure.

  7. Lewy body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewy_body

    A Lewy body is composed of the protein α-synuclein associated with other proteins, such as ubiquitin, [9] neurofilament protein, and alpha B crystallin. Tau proteins may also be present, and Lewy bodies may occasionally be surrounded by neurofibrillary tangles.

  8. Purkinje cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_cell

    Their large dendritic arbors form nearly two-dimensional layers through which parallel fibers from the deeper-layers pass. These parallel fibers make relatively weaker excitatory ( glutamatergic ) synapses to spines in the Purkinje cell dendrite, whereas climbing fibers originating from the inferior olivary nucleus in the medulla provide very ...

  9. Chyle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chyle

    Chyle (from Greek χυλός (chylos) 'juice' [1]) is a milky bodily fluid consisting of lymph and emulsified fats, or free fatty acids (FFAs). It is formed in the small intestine during digestion of fatty foods, and taken up by lymph vessels specifically known as lacteals.
