IPA: //ˌæksɪsɪˈmɛtrɪkəl//

KK: /ˌæksɪsɪˈmɛtrɪkəl/

adjective

Definition: Having symmetry around an axis, meaning that the shape or object looks the same when rotated around that axis.

axisymmetry

IPA: /ˌæksɪˈsɪmɪtri/

KK: /ˌæksɪˈsɪmɪtri/

noun

Definition: A type of symmetry where an object looks the same when rotated around a central line or axis.

axon

IPA: /ˈæksɒn/

KK: /ˈæksɒn/

noun

Definition: A long part of a nerve cell that carries signals away from the main body of the cell.

Example: The axon transmits electrical impulses to other neurons.

axonal

IPA: /ˈæksənl/

KK: /ˈæksənl/

adjective

Definition: Relating to a part of a nerve cell that carries signals away from the cell body.

Example: The axonal damage affected the patient's ability to move their limbs.

axone

IPA: /ˈæksɒn/

KK: /ˈæksən/

noun

Definition: A long, thin part of a nerve cell that carries messages away from the cell body to other cells.

Example: The axone transmits electrical signals to communicate with other neurons.

axonemal

IPA: /ˌæksəˈniːməl/

KK: /ˌæksəˈniməl/

adjective

Definition: Relating to a structure called an axoneme, which is part of the cell's anatomy involved in movement, especially in cilia and flagella.

axoneme

IPA: /ˈæksəˌniːm/

KK: /ˈæksəˌnim/

noun

Definition: A structure found in cilia and flagella, made up of a bundle of microtubules that helps in movement.

IPA: //ˈæksəˌplæzəm//

KK: /ˈæksəˌplæzəm/

noun

Definition: The fluid substance found within an axon, which is part of a nerve cell and helps in the transmission of signals.

Example: The axoplasm contains various organelles and proteins necessary for the function of the axon.

axoplasmic

IPA: /ˌæksəˈplæzmɪk/

KK: /ˌæksəˈplæzmɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the cytoplasm found in the axon of a nerve cell, which is involved in the transport of materials within the neuron.

Example: The axoplasmic flow is essential for the proper functioning of nerve cells.
