Example Sentences:
(1) Two principal classes of striatum long axonal neurons (sparsely ramified reticular cells and densely ramified dendritic cells) were analyzed quantitatively in four animal species: hedgehog, rabbit, dog and monkey.
(2) However most of the TH-immunoreactive cell bodies showed an evident depletion of TH immunoreactivity and their processes, ramified in the inner and outer plexiform layers, disappeared almost completely.

(4) These cells often surrounded cerebral capillaries, and sent ramifying processes into the neuropil.
(5) In contrast, choline acetyltransferase immunoreactivity was limited to matching subpopulations of amacrine (A14) and displaced amacrine (dA14) cells, ramifying narrowly at 20% and 49% depth levels within the IPL.
(6) The cell body is smaller in size than the oogonia, and cytoplasmic processes from it ramify around the periphery of the ovary.
(7) The antigenicity of the ramified microglia became elevated when rhodamine B isothiocyanate was present intracellularly and even more so with the presence of a nearby intracerebral stab wound.
(8) The ultrastructure of the Sertoli cell studied in sexually active control animals during May-June and experimental animals sexually activated by light in winter, presents the commonly described ramified aspect with an infolded nucleus, well developed Golgi complexes, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, numerous microfilaments, few liposomes and lysosomal formations; In the regressed testes of hibernating animals or blinded spring animals, the Sertoli cells are more round shaped with a significant increase in number and size of liposomes, lysosomes and various necrotic bodies.
(9) Whereas the noradrenergic and serotoninergic neuronal systems ramify profusely within the amygdala, the dopaminergic system appears to be more discretely and topographically organized.
(10) Ramified nerve fibres in the submucosa immunoreactive to SP, VIP, CGRP and PHI extended to the mucosa and to small blood vessels in the submucosa.
(11) The ovarian artery and vein and their uterine branches which supply the ovary, oviduct and uterus, ramify extensively.
(12) These neurons had a long apical dendrite, which ramified in the upper-half of SGC into horizontally arborized dendritic fields.
(13) Scanning electron microscopy revealed that in analogy to brain tissue two types of microglial cells are present in the cultures: the ameboid and the ramified type which both display similar appearance by transmission electron microscopy.
(14) These bipolar neurons possess one CSF-contacting process that protrudes into the ventricular lumen with a club-shape ending and a thick, ramifying process directed into the hypothalamic neuropil; the ependymofugal processes form intra- and extrahypothalamic projections.
(15) Computer reconstructions of two of the Golgi-impregnated dLGN interneurones and their subsequent 3-dimensional computer rotations showed that their processes ramified in long columnar-shaped territories aligned dorsoventrally.
(16) From implants placed in the host rostral mesencephalic region, HNF-positive axonal projections were seen to extend in large numbers rostrally along the medial forebrain bundle and the internal capsule, and ramify within the caudate putamen, the ventral striatum and the amygdaloid nuclei (a distance of about 5-6 mm), and more sparsely in the frontal cortex and the olfactory bulb (a distance of about 10 mm).
(17) A mobile full text processing system is reported which is independent of a computer, yet can be completely integrated into a data processing system and is purely a storage and retrieval system for data files and data banks which, with relatively little activity ratio of the individual items of information stored, still have an unusually large, widely ramified indexing depth.
(18) In some breasts of all three types of megalomastia ramified new ducts named "juvenile units" had developed and had proceeded to atrophy.
