Metastasizing cancer cells do not destroy tissue, but crawl along the paths that have already been created by blood vessels, nerve bundles and other tissues. However, immune cells that fight the ...
Dr. Blair Peters is the first researcher to quantify nerve fibers in the human clitoris. He found an average of 10,280 nerve fibers across 7 clitorises. Commonly-cited research on cows found 8,000.
The synaptic cleft, meaning the distance between two nerve cells or between a nerve cell and a muscle cell, is just 10 to 50 nanometers – too small for conventional microscopes.
Microscopic cross-section through a peripheral nerve bundle (dark blue), which contains hundreds of nerve fibers coated with Schwann cells. Numerous large fat cells (light blue) can be seen in the ...
Therefore, reduction of the nerve conduction amplitude indicates the degree of axonal injury in the nerve bundle. Latency is a reflection of the activation pattern of individual neurons comprising ...
