| Question | Answer |
| satellite oligodendrocyte | 1. fewer processes than astrocytes 2. found close to the neuron cell membranes |
| vascular oligodendrocyte | (perivascular attachements) seen adjacent to capillaries |
| interfasicular oligodendrocyte | 1. known to form myelin around the axons of neurons of the CNS 2. can myelinate up to 30–40 axons 3. by carrying processes each of which ends in a myelin sheath. 4. The sheath forms by spiralling movements |
| Opaque orthographies | In this kind of thing, the relationship is less direct, and the reader must learn the arbitrary or unusual pronunciations of irregular words. In other words, they are writing systems that do not have a one-to-one correspondence between sounds (phonemes) and the letters (graphemes) that represent them. They may be irregular (English), reflect etymology (Hungarian, Faroese or French) or be morphophonemic (Korean). |
| Open Class Words | The category of content words--that is, parts of speech (or word classes) that readily accept new members. |
| OECD Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development | The mission of thIs organisationis to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. |
| parallelepiped | A solid with six faces, each a parallelogram and each being parallel to the opposite face. |
| the volume of a parallelepiped | the volume of this figure is the area of its base surface times its height. |
| Phonotactics | The cross-linguistic variation of syllable structure |
| Phylogeny | 1. The evolutionary development and history of a species or higher taxonomic grouping of organisms. 2. The evolutionary development of an organ or other part of an organism 3. The historical development of a tribe or racial group. |
| pia mater | 1. the highly vascular innermost of the 3 meninges that envelops the brain and spinal cord leptomeninges - the two innermost layers of the meninges; cerebrospinal fluid circulates between these innermost layers |
| meninges, meninx | a membrane (one of three) that envelops the brain and spinal cord |
| leptomeninges | the two innermost layers of the meninges; cerebrospinal fluid circulates between these innermost layers |
| Post Structuralism | ********* is a label formulated by American academics to denote the heterogeneous works of a series of mid-20th-century French and continental philosophers and critical theorists who came to international prominence in the 1960s and '70s.[1][2][3] A major theme of ******* is instability in the human sciences, due to the complexity of humans themselves and the impossibility of fully escaping structures in order that we might study them. |
| Structuralism | An intellectual movement developed in Europe from the early to mid-20th century. It argued that human culture may be understood by means of a structure that differs from concrete reality and from abstract ideas—a "third order" that mediates between the two. |
| destabilized meaning | In the post-structuralist approach to textual analysis, the reader replaces the author as the primary subject of inquiry. This displacement is often referred to as the "destabilizing" or "decentering" of the author, though it has its greatest effect on the text itself. Without a central fixation on the author, post-structuralists examine other sources for meaning (e.g., readers, cultural norms, other literature, etc.). These alternative sources are never authoritative, and promise no consistency. |
| Programming | This term refers to the concept that an insult or stimulus applied at a critical or sensitive period may have long-term or lifetime effects on the structure or function of an organism. 2 It may occur as a result of internal signals or environmental factors, including hormones or drugs.2, 3 |
| Phonemic orthographies | the spelling-sound correspondence is direct: from the rules of pronunciation, one is able to pronounce the word correctly. They have a one-to-one relationship between its graphemes and phonemes, and the spelling of words is very consistent. |
| Pole | 1. either extremity of any axis, as of the fetal ellipse or a body organ. 2. either one of two points that have opposite physical qualities (electric or other). adj., adj po´lar. |
| Occipital Pole | The most posterior promontory of each cerebral hemisphere. |
| Frontal Pole | the most prominent part of the anterior end of each cerebral hemisphere. |
