Scape (botany) Agave, which sensu stricto, is not a scape. Scapes are found on plants of many families, including Amaryllidaceae, Balsaminaceae, Liliaceae, Papaveraceae, Droseraceae, and Violaceae. Scape (botany) In botany, a scape is a long internode forming the basal part or the whole of a peduncle. Typically it takes the form of a long, leafless flowering stem rising directly from a bulb, rhizome, or similar subterranean or underwater structure. The scapes of scallions, chives, garlic chives, and garlic are used as vegetables. The word "scape" (Latin "scapus", from Greek σκᾶπος), as used in botany, is fairly vague and arbitrary; various sources provide
Calyx of Held MNTB neurons to reach the SOC approximately 0.2 ms following the initial cochlear excitation. This ~0.2 second time measurement is important for comparing the contralateral (opposite side) and ipsilateral (same side) stimulation necessary in sound localization in the horizontal plane, and is key in distinguishing the location of low frequency sounds. For every principal neuron there is one calyx, and for most GBC axons there is only a single calyx, although there are exceptions to this pairing. This in general creates a one-to-one ratio between GBCs, the calyces of Held, and the principal neurons. The calyx of Held encompasses the
