Streptanthus fenestratus not subdivided. Flowers occur at intervals along the upper stem with one or two leaflike green or purple-tipped bracts at the base of the raceme. Each flower has a tubular urn-shaped calyx of purple sepals just under a centimeter long. Light petals up to 1.5 centimeters long emerge from the tip of the calyx. The fruit is a flat, narrow silique up to 5 centimeters long. One of the main threats to this species is trampling by hikers. Streptanthus fenestratus Streptanthus fenestratus is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the mustard family known by the common name Tehipite Valley
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
