Exam: GRE (Verbal)

Definition: The process of creating a set of basic principles or rules that are accepted as true without proof, often used in mathematics and logic.

Example: The axiomatization of geometry helped to clarify its foundational concepts.

Definition: A theoretical particle that is believed to have no charge or spin and a small mass, suggested to help explain some behaviors of the strong nuclear force.

Example: Scientists are researching the axion to understand its role in the universe.

Definition: Not applicable as 'axis' is not an adjective; it typically refers to a line around which something rotates or a central point of reference.

Example: The axis of the Earth is tilted, which affects the seasons.

Definition: A straight line that something rotates around or is organized around, often used in geometry, art, or anatomy.

Example: The Earth rotates on its axis, which is an imaginary line running from the North Pole to the South Pole.

Definition: Having the same shape or structure on both sides of a central line or axis.

Example: The design of the building is axisymmetric, making it look balanced from all angles.

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

Example: The design of the vase is axisymmetrical, making it visually appealing from all angles.

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

Example: The design of the sculpture exhibits perfect axisymmetry, making it visually appealing from all angles.

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.

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.

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.

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

Example: The axonemal structure is crucial for the movement of sperm cells.
