Example Sentences:
(1) Spinelike processes were rarely observed on the perikarya, except on large scattered AVP neurons, but frequently covered the proximal dendrites of both types of neurons.
(2) Dendrites were sometimes sparsely invested with spinelike appendages or other dendritic extrusions, particularly along their distal portions.
(3) The dendrites of some of these neurons have many spinelike appendages, whereas those of other cells are nearly appendage free.
(4) Each of them could establish classical flat synapses or spinelike contacts, the latter being described here for the first time.
(5) These rodlike projections are also recognizable in thin sections, where they appear as spinelike projections (cross sections) or linear arrays (grazing sections) located in the lamina lucida of the basal lamina.
(6) There were also a few contacts onto spinelike processes, but these were flat rather than invaginated.
(7) Numerous spinelike appendages were observed emanating from two of the cell bodies.
(8) The B subunit induced pronounced morphological changes: an increase in neurite outgrowth with branched neurites and spinelike processes.
(9) Small, spinelike processes (2-3 microns in length) project outward from the basal cells into the cytoplasm of the surrounding tast receptor cells.
(10) Doubly treated primary HECs extend many long, overlapping, spinelike processes and expose the substratum.
(11) Two LHRH cell subtypes, smooth LHRH cells and LHRH cells with spinelike processes (irregular LHRH cells), were found throughout the entire extent of the LHRH neuronal field in both sexes.
(12) The dendritic elements in these glomeruli tend to be small-diameter dendrites, spines, and large, spinelike appendages.
(13) In the early ages examined, most dendrites show large varicosities and protrusions, some of which are spinelike and can be postsynaptic to multiple terminals.
(14) It differs from the other species of the genus by the heavily sclerotized margins of the anal plate and tiny cribrum, the two small rounded bifuractions of the movable digit of the chelicerae, abscence of dorsal opisthosomal setae (J, Z, and R series), and chaetotaxy of tarsi II, III, and IV which have only 3 ventral club-shaped setae in the distal row (al1, av2, and pl1 with pv1 apparently absent) and 2 club-shaped setae in the more proximal row (al2 and av3 with pv3 modified into a spinelike seta in the more proximal row and al2 and av3 with pv3 modified into a spinelike seta having an enlarged base and pl2 shorter and with a rounded tip).
(15) All neurons except four presumed interneurons had dendrites sparsely covered with spinelike appendages.
(16) Most OXY-IR cells were similar morphologically to those immunoreactive to AVP, except that OXY-IR cell bodies and their appendages did not have spinelike processes.
(17) Most of the cells immunoreactive to AVP were multipolar and had spinelike processes over their somata and proximal dendrites.
