Descriptor English: Nerve Net
Descriptor Spanish: Red Nerviosa
Descriptor red nerviosa
Entry term(s) redes neurales (anatómico)
Scope note: Estructura, en forma de malla, constituida por células nerviosas interconectadas que están separadas por un botón sináptico o unidas a otras mediante procesos citoplasmáticos. En los invertebrados, por ejemplo, la red neural permite que los impulsos nerviosos se extiendan por un área amplia de la red dado que las sinapsis pueden transmitir información en cualquier dirección.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009415
Scope note: A meshlike structure composed of interconnecting nerve cells that are separated at the synaptic junction or joined to one another by cytoplasmic processes. In invertebrates, for example, the nerve net allows nerve impulses to spread over a wide area of the net because synapses can pass information in any direction.
