http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk • neuron • An excitable cell specialised for the transmission of electricalsignals over longdistances. Neuronsreceive input from sensorycells or other neurons and send output to muscles or other neurons. Neurons with sensory input are called sensory neurons, neurons with muscle outputs are called motoneurons, neurons that connect only with other neurons are called interneurons. Neurons connect with each other via synapses. Neurons can be the longest cells known, a singleaxon can be several metres in length. Although signals are usually sent via action potentials, some neurons are nonspiking.

If a plant trichome is a hair cell, and an insect trichome is a cell hair, then plant trichome differentiation would be an is_a of hair cell differentiation. And insect trichome formation could be a part_of hair cell differentiation. Becky Foulger 2004-08-04

Difficult term request • All the metamorphosis terms should be changed to morphogenesis terms.
Standard structure [i]x development ---[p] x morphogenesis ------[p] x formation ---------[p] y cell differentiation ------[p] x structural organization ---[p] x maturation
Standard definitions • x development • The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the x over time, from its formation to the mature structure. • x morphogenesis • The process by which the anatomical structures of x are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. • x formation • The process that gives rise to x. This process pertains to the initial formation of a structure from unspecified parts. • x structural organization • The process that contributes to creating the structural organization of x. This process pertains to the physical shaping of a rudimentary structure.
morphogenesis terms • x morphogenesis • The process by which the anatomical structures of x are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
metamorphosis terms 'leg disc metamorphosis' ; GO:0007478 def: The transformation of a leg imaginal disc from a monolayered epithelium in the larvae of holometabolous insects into recognizable adult structures including the leg, coxa and ventral thoracic pleura.
Rules Changes can be made to terms: • Annotations must still be true afterwards. • Name needs changed. Do it. • Definition wording needs changed. Do it. • Position in the graph needs changed. Do it. • Definition meaning needs changed. Obsolete the term.
