Definition: Apical dendritic axon: A type of sensory nerve cell that receives signals from dendrites (thick, slender) in sensory organs like taste buds, hair cells, and neurons. It carries the signal to a cell in the central nervous system. Definition: Acpinal is a common name for the acpcnial body of the axon terminal membrane. Acpcnials are specialized cells that are found at the end of sensory nerve fibers. They have a special, thin cell wall and an extra layer of cells called a basal cell layer, which acts as the "acpcnial" part of the nerve fiber. The acpinal body is where the axon terminal membrane connects with the dendrite. It is named after its shape resembling the apical tip of a pomegranate. It's a very thin, single cell that contains all of the sensory information that it receives from the dendrites.
