A nerve carrying afferent information from sensory structures towards the central nervous system.

A bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system, enclosed by supporting connective tissue. A nerve can carry sensory fibres, motor fibres, or both; it is distinct from an individual neuron.^[ref]

The peripheral nervous system comprises neural structures outside the brain and spinal cord, including many nerves and ganglia. It carries sensory input and motor or autonomic output. Peripheral location does not imply that every fiber has the same signaling direction.

Muscle tone is the background resistance or tension present in a muscle under specified conditions. Neural activation and passive tissue properties contribute differently depending on the measurement. Resistance during an examination is therefore not simply a direct readout of one motor-neuron firing rate.

Muscle atrophy is reduction in muscle mass, often involving decreased size of individual muscle fibers. Altered use, neural supply, nutrition or disease can contribute. The reduction is an outcome to explain rather than a single mechanism shared by every case.

A muscle cell is a cell specialized for contractile force generation. Its shape, internal contractile organization and control differ among muscle types. A skeletal muscle fiber is an unusually large multinucleate example, while a smooth muscle cell has a different cellular arrangement.

An execution core within a processor. Each CPU core can have a private memory cache and store buffer while participating in a coherent memory system.

An instruction in the MIPS architecture, with a specified binary encoding and architectural effect. Educational datapaths often simplify details such as branch delay slots; instruction behavior in a particular circuit must follow that circuit's stated specification. MIPS R-type instructions use register and function fields; MIPS I-type instructions use an immediate field as well as register fields.

Historical grouping of organisms found in infusions. Its scope varied and does not define one modern clade.
