Suaeda taxifolia nearly oval, measuring up to 3 centimeters in length. They vary in color from bluish to green to yellowish or reddish. There is usually a knobby bump at the base of each. Flowers occur in clusters along the stems, each cluster containing 1 to 3 flowers. Leaflike bracts accompany the clusters. The flower has no petals and is composed of a calyx of fleshy, rounded, hairy sepals. The fruit is an utricle that grows within the calyx. Suaeda taxifolia Suaeda taxifolia is a species of flowering plant in the amaranth family known by the common name woolly seablite. It is
Calyx of Held calcium into the mitochondria, and providing energy for glutamate synthesis. Various glial cells are also associated with the calyx of Held. Two types of glial cells surround the calyx: astrocytes and NG glial cells. The astrocytes express glutamate transporters to remove glutamate from the synapse. This is the only known mechanism for removal of glutamate from the synapse. The NG glial cells express AMPA receptors. At postnatal day two (P2), the immature calyx of Held is formed, easily distinguished by its characteristic sealed-spoon morphology. The primary synaptic contacts that form the calyx are assembled between neurons of the MNTB (medial
