a: Cell body ~
b: the head of Bob Marley
What: "A basic, mulitpolar neuron is shaped, in my opinion, like Bob Marley laying on is back with his arms cut off. The dendrites stick out in a bunch of different directions like his dreadlocks, the cell body is like his head, the axon is like his body, and the axon terminal is like his legs/feet. "

b: the power house of a neuron

Glucose provides neurons with enough energy to conduct an electrical impulse and get back to their resting state. Neurons use 2x more glucose than any other part of the body. "

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
