  2. Solitary nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_nucleus

    The solitary nucleus (SN) (nucleus of the solitary tract, nucleus solitarius, or nucleus tractus solitarii) is a series of neurons whose cell bodies form a roughly vertical column of grey matter in the medulla oblongata of the brainstem. Their axons form the bulk of the enclosed solitary tract. The solitary nucleus can be divided into different ...

  3. Solitariospinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitariospinal_tract

    The solitariospinal tract is a descending nerve tract that controls breathing by promoting the action of inspiratory muscles (note that exhalation is usually passive [1]).It consists of a small group of axons originating in the nucleus solitarius of the medulla oblongata, and projects to the motor neurons of the phrenic nerve (which innervate the thoracic diaphragm) and of motor neurons of the ...

  4. Gustatory nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustatory_nucleus

    A close association between the gustatory nucleus and visceral information exists for this function in the gustatory system, assisting in homeostasis - via the identification of food that might be possibly poisonous or harmful for the body. [3] There are many gustatory nuclei in the brain stem.

  5. Solitary tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_tract

    The solitary tract (tractus solitarius or fasciculus solitarius) is a compact fiber bundle that extends longitudinally through the posterolateral region of the medulla oblongata. The solitary tract is surrounded by the solitary nucleus, and descends to the upper cervical segments of the spinal cord. It was first named by Theodor Meynert in 1872.

  6. Nucleus (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleus_(neuroanatomy)

    In neuroanatomy, a nucleus (pl.: nuclei) is a cluster of neurons in the central nervous system, [1] located deep within the cerebral hemispheres and brainstem. [2] The neurons in one nucleus usually have roughly similar connections and functions. [ 3 ]

  7. Nucleoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleoplasm

    Many important cell functions take place in the nucleus, more specifically in the nucleoplasm. The main function of the nucleoplasm is to provide the proper environment for essential processes that take place in the nucleus, serving as the suspension substance for all organelles inside the nucleus, and storing the structures that are used in ...

  8. Cell polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_polarity

    A neuron receives signals from neighboring cells through branched, cellular extensions called dendrites.The neuron then propagates an electrical signal down a specialized axon extension from the basal pole to the synapse, where neurotransmitters are released to propagate the signal to another neuron or effector cell (e.g., muscle or gland).

  9. Soma (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma_(biology)

    The nucleus is the source of most of the RNA that is produced in neurons. In general, most proteins are produced from mRNAs that do not travel far from the cell nucleus. This creates a challenge for supplying new proteins to axon endings that can be a meter or more away from the soma.
