Dyed Neuron Anatomy |
N: This dyed cell image shows a thick branch extending from right to left across the image, embedded in a nest of long, thin branches that extend towards the top. Extending below and almost perpendicular to the thick branch is a solid medium-sized bulb on the left and two thick branches on the right. |
T: This dyed cell image shows a thick branch extending from right to left across the image. About a dozen short, thin branches branch off the thick branch towards the top. Extending below and almost perpendicular to the thick branch is a solid small bulb on the left and two thick branches on the right. |
P: This dyed cell image shows a thick branch extending from right to left across the image. Many short, thin branches branch off the thick branch towards the top. Extending below and almost perpendicular to the thick branch are two thick branches. Between the two branches is a medium-sized solid bulb, which is attached to the left branch. |
R: This dyed cell image shows a thick branch that extends from the right to a large solid bulb at the center. This branch has about a dozen thin, short branches that extend towards the top, as well as another thick branch that extends perpendicularly towards the bottom. |
X: This dyed cell image shows a thick branch extending from the top to the bottom of the image. Many long, thin branches extend from the left of the thick branch. About halfway down the thick branch, there is a short branch that extends to the right and has a medium-sized solid bulb at the end. |
