The Hebrew Word for atonement is âkipurâ with the verb form being âkapharâ and means âto cover, purge, make reconciliationâ and âto cover with or coat with pitch.â That last definition is very interesting because the same Hebrew word used for pitch is âkapharâ and that is what the Ark was covered with.
Sensory neurons are nerve cells that transmit sensory information (sight, sound, feeling, etc.). They are activated by sensory input, and send projections to other elements of the nervous system, ultimately conveying sensory information to the brain or spinal cord.
Sensory neurons are somewhat unique, having an axon that extends to the periphery and another axon that extends into the central nervous system via the dorsal root (figure 3). The cell body of this neuron is located in the dorsal root ganglion or one of the sensory ganglia of sensory cranial nerves. Both the peripheral and the central axon attach to the neuron at the same point, and these sensory neurons are called pseudounipolar neurons.
