What's the difference between internuncial and internuncio?
Internuncial
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to an internuncio.
(a.) Communicating or transmitting impressions between different parts of the body; -- said of the nervous system.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is suggested that HA-966 depresses central internuncial neurones.6.
(2) The perikarya are in direct cytoplasmic continuity with the ectocytoplasm via narrow plasmalemma-bound bridges called internuncial process.
(3) A count of neuronal perikarya in the ventral horns confirmed that the disease selectively destroyed small and medium sized neurones, most of which were spinal internuncial neurones.
(4) These results indicate that neostriatal transplants are populated by the major output and internuncial neurons of the neostriatum.
(5) This finding suggests a diffuse loss of internuncial excitability, contralateral to the hemispheric lesion.
(6) It is concluded that facilitation of monosynaptic e.p.s.p.s evoked by both afferent and internuncial impulses is based on the same mechanism and that the degree of facilitation of e.p.s.p.s is entirely determined by the nature of presynaptic elements.
(7) It was hypothesized that microtubules within the internuncial processes facilitate movement of cell products from tegumentary cytons to the body surface.
(8) beta-MSH facilitated the rate of post-excitation recovery of alpha-motoneurones and some internuncial neurones, and melatonin inhibited the rate of post-excitation recovery.
(9) Blebbing and vesiculation were not seen on the basal aspect of the tegument, including the basal ectocytoplasmic plasma membrane, the perikarya, and the internuncial processes.
(10) This variability and the multiple spike response may be due to multiple pathways leading to the same cell and the possibility of the presence of internuncial neurones in the ganglion is suggested.4.
(11) Preliminary evidence suggests the existence of excitatory peptidergic mechanisms involving thyrotropin-releasing hormone, vasopressin, oxytocin, and somatostatin, a probable candidate for excitatory transmitter in the solitarioambigual internuncial projection to motoneurons innervating esophageal striated musculature.
(12) It is concluded that the slow potentials in glial cells result from a transient increase in [K+]o at the superficial dorsal horn, which is induced by activation of neighbouring internuncial neurones.
(13) The degree of facilitation of monosynaptic e.p.s.p.s evoked by internuncial impulses was not related to the amount of transmitter released by the preceding impulses.6.
(14) Of these, the large type I and type II, the medium type I-V, and the small type I neurons seemed to be the projection neurons, whereas the large type III and small type II neurons were merely internuncials.
(15) Internuncial neurons in the human cerebral cortex containing a catecholamine synthesizing enzyme would be significant, in particular considering that catecholamines are likely to be involved in some major mental disorders.
(16) The type II amacrine appears to play a special internuncial role between bipolars and ganglion cells in the rod system.
(17) It is suggested that this increased blood flow is a reflection of increased metabolic demands of the neurons and synaptic systems within the internuncial neural pools, activated by stimulation of all components of the sciatic nerve, rather than a reflection of increased non-synaptic axonal conduction in the dorsal column.
(18) A selective 50 percent atrophy of microneurons (internuncial cells) was found while the macroneurons did not show significant atrophy.
(19) This strongly suggests that the caudate nucleus interneuronal apparatus is dominated by centre-median input, in contrast to the putamen which is controlled by the cortico-striatal input to its internuncial cells and by its strong intrastriatal feedback mechanism.
(20) The activity of afferent and internuncial neurons of the bulbar cardiovascular centre (BCVC) was evaluated, using microelectrodes, in conditions of serotonin microinjections, altered blood gas composition and sensomotor cortical stimulation, in acute experiments in cats and rabbits.
Internuncio
Definition:
(n.) A messenger between two parties.
(n.) A representative, or charge d'affaires, of the pope at a foreign court or seat of government, ranking next below a nuncio.
