Axochiapan
Axochiapan is a city in the Mexican state of Morelos. It stands at [18°30′N 98°45′W], at a mean height of 1,030 meters above sea level. The city serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding municipality of the same name. The municipality reported 30,436 inhabitants in the yea..

Axodine
The axodines are a group of unicellular heterokont algae. They characteristically have a single emergent flagellum, which lacks the root structure found in related groups, and is extended into a wing-like form supported by an internal rod. They also have tentacles or axopods supported by triads ..

Axolemma
The axolemma is the membrane of a neuron's axon. It is responsible for maintaining the cell's membrane potential, and it contains channels through which ions can flow. This changes the voltage inside the axon and can depolarize or hyperpolarize the cell. Adequate depolarization will lead to an ac..

Axolotl
The Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is an aquatic salamander native to Mexico. In the Spanish language it is called the ajolote. The name is from the Aztec Nahuatl language, from "atl" meaning water, and "xolotl" meaning dog. It also derives its name from the Aztec God of Death Xolotl, who — a..

Axolotl tank
Axolotl tanks are a technology in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert in the 'Dune' series. Axolotl technology is also mentioned in [[Destination: Void]] but not elaborated upon. The name comes from the axolotl, an aquatic salamander native to Mexico. Description [Spoiler war..

Axon
An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body or soma. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves. Individual axons are micros..

Axonn
Axonn is a character from Lego's Bionicle storyline; he first appeared in the Legends arc. Axonn has lived on Voya Nui since long before the Great Cataclysm broke the island off from the mainland, secretly acting as a guardian of the Matoran alongside his friend Brutaka. Upset by the arrival of t..

Axonometric projection
Example of a dimetric axonometric drawing from a US Patent (1874). Axonometric projection ("to measure along axes") is a technique used in orthographic pictorials. Within orthographic projection, there is an ancillary category known as pictorials. Pictorials show an image of an object as vie..

Axon guidance
Axon guidance (also called axon pathfinding) is a subfield of neural development concerning the process by which neurons send out axons to reach the correct targets. Axons often follow very precise paths in the nervous system, and how they manage to find their way so accurately remains a major puz..

Axon hillock
The Axon Hillock is the anatomical part of a neuron that connects the cell body called soma (biology) to the axon. It is attributed as the place where Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potentials (IPSPs) and Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials (EPSPs) from numerous synaptic inputs on the dendrites or cell body..

Axoplasm
Axoplasm is the cytoplasm within the axon of a neuron. Neural processes (axons and dendrites) contain about 99.6% of the cell’s cytoplasm, and 99.7% of that is in the axons (Sabry et al., 1995). Axoplasm has a different composition of organelles and other materials than that found in the neuro..

Axoplasmic transport
Axoplasmic transport, also called axonal transport, is responsible for movement of mitochondria, lipids, synaptic vesicles, proteins, and other cell parts to and from a neuron's cell body through the cytoplasm of its axon (the axoplasm). Axons, which can be 1,000 or 10,000 times the length of th..

Axostyle
An axostyle is a sheet of microtubules found in certain protozoa. It arises from the bases of the flagella, sometimes projecting beyond the end of the cell, and is often flexible or contractile, and so may be involved in movement. Axostyles occur in two groups, the oxymonads and parabasalids; they..

Axotomy
The process of cutting or to otherwise sever an axon. Derived from axo- (=axon) and -tomy (=surgery). See also NeurectomyNeurosurgery ..
