| Identifier | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GO:0044464 | cell part | Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. |
| GO:0005575 | cellular_component | The part of a cell or its extracellular environment in which a gene product is located. A gene product may be located in one or more parts of a cell and its location may be as specific as a particular macromolecular complex, that is, a stable, persistent association of macromolecules that function together. |
| GO:0005623 | cell | The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. Includes the plasma membrane and any external encapsulating structures such as the cell wall and cell envelope. |
| GO:0044463 | cell projection part | Any constituent part of a cell projection, a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. |
| GO:0042995 | cell projection | A prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. |
| GO:0097458 | neuron part | Any constituent part of a neuron, the basic cellular unit of nervous tissue. A typical neuron consists of a cell body (often called the soma), an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the nervous system. |
| GO:0043005 | neuron projection | A prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite. |
| GO:0030424 | axon | The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. |
| GO:0033267 | axon part | A part of an axon, a cell projection of a neuron. |
| GO:0043679 | axon terminus | Terminal inflated portion of the axon, containing the specialized apparatus necessary to release neurotransmitters. The axon terminus is considered to be the whole region of thickening and the terminal button is a specialized region of it. |
| GO:0044306 | neuron projection terminus | The specialized, terminal region of a neuron projection such as an axon or a dendrite. |
| GO:1990623 | Herring body | The dilated terminal portions of neurosecretory axons constituting the hypothalamohypophyseal tract, found in close proximity to sinusoidal capillaries in the posterior pituitary. Herring bodies consist of aggregates of membrane-bound neurosecretory vesicles where oxytocin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are stored prior to release. Each Herring body also contains ATP and either neurophysin I or neurophysin II which bind to oxytocin and ADH, respectively. |
