Neuron: Pyramidal cell
description
Transcript of Neuron: Pyramidal cell
Neuron: Pyramidal cell-Dendritic spines: the little “thorns” on the creepy ominous neuron tree which are points of synaptic contact b/w neurons -Neuronal cell body of pyramidal cell: looks triangular-FYI: axons don’t have spines, but dendrites do
sites of synaptic contact with other neighboring neurons
Neuron: Pyramidal cell-Dendritic spines (D)-Axon (A)-You can distinguish between them because axons don’t have spines, but dendrites do

Neuron: Pyramidal cell-Cell soma of pyramidal cell (1)-Apical dendrite (2) -Basal dendrite (3)-Initial portion of axon (4)-Cell soma of neuron in the striatum(5) -Dendrite with spines (6)*from demo on blackboard

Terminal Boutons-(Black arrows)-Terminal Boutons are the terminal knobs that synapse w/ other cells, while Boutons en Passant (buttons in passing) are found along the dendrites.

Name the tissue. Be Specific.
Smooth Muscle!
Harry Potter nuclei and b/c smooth muscle is always in arteries (aka this thick walled, alien squiggle beast with a lumen full of RBCs)
Oh hey Harry Potter Nuclei!
