What's the difference between spikelike and spinelike?
Spikelike
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) In some type 2 astrocytes, an initial spikelike transient similar to that in type 1 astrocytes was observed; the overall size of the spike, however, was smaller than in type 1 astrocytes.
(2) PGE2 caused a rapid spikelike increase in intracellular calcium [( Ca2+]i) followed by a stable elevation above basal values.
(3) The particles were from 70 to 75 nm in diameter, with a central doughnut-shaped nucleoid 50 to 55 nm in diameter; numerous spikelike projections extended from their envelopes.
(4) Often spikelike partial responses were superimposed on the EPSPs.

(7) Locomotor pseudopods, spikelike "acanthopodia," and microprojections from the cell surface are all formed by hyaline cytoplasm, which excludes formed elements of the cell and contains a fine fibrillar material.
(8) Further purification of this material resulted in the isolation of a preparation of vesicles which contained only the G protein and the same phospholipids as in the intact virions and exhibited spikelike structures similar to those on intact vesicular stomatitis virions.
(9) No paroxysmal spikelike waveform was observed in MEG at rest with eyes closed.
(10) A study on the growth cycle of C. trachomatis of genital origin in McCoy cells has produced the following results: 1) Two kinds of surface projections, spikelike and hemispheric, were observed.
(11) The poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate did not solidify at the freezing temperature used (approximately -150 C), and it was consequently pulled out in a spikelike structure during the fracturing process.
(12) The frequency of the spikelike [Ca2+]i elevation was also decreased by dilazep.
(13) Some single cells caused a repetitive spikelike elevation of [Ca2+]i. Dilazep lowered the sustained elevation to the resting level and in some single cells, changed the sustained elevation to the spikelike elevation.
(14) The spikelike projections were recognized 50 hours after infection in larger C. trachomatis of 1.0 micron in diameter.
(15) The resting potential of about -40 mV was superimposed by spikelike hyperpolarizations (SLHs) up to -20 mV amplitude.
(16) They were often surrounded by spikelike protrusions of the lamina densa.
(17) Although much of the direct data are preliminary, burning phantom pain is probably related to decreased blood flow in the residual limb, while cramping phantom pain is mainly related to spikelike muscle spasms in the major muscles of the residual limb.
(18) The spikelike fast potentials were only recorded from the main trunks (nerves VI), while diffuse potentials could also be recorded from side branches of these nerves.
(19) The activity of type 1 neurons was synchronized to an aperiodic spikelike event in SND, whereas that of type 2 neurons was synchronized to a 2- to 6-Hz rhythmic component.
(20) The spikelike projections are found in intermediate forms, originate beneath depressions of the plasma membrane, and extend through the periplasmic space and outer membrane to end with pointed tips.
Spinelike
Definition:
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.
