Unlike some non-mammalian animals ( such as lizards that shed their tails, salamanders that can regrow many missing body parts, and hydras, flatworms, and starfish that can regrow entire bodies from small fragments ), once removed, human extremities do not grow back, unlike portions of some organs, such as the liver.

The number of neutrons, N, is known as the neutron number of the atom ; thus, A = Z + N. Since protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass ( and the mass of the electrons is negligible for many purposes ), and the mass defect is usually very small compared to the mass, the atomic mass of an atom is roughly equal to A.

For example, if one defines categories in terms of sets, that is, as sets of objects and morphisms ( usually called a small category ), or even locally small categories, whose hom-objects are sets, then there is no category of all sets, and so it is difficult for a category-theoretic formulation to apply to all sets.

Axons are distinguished from dendrites by several features, including shape ( dendrites often taper while axons usually maintain a constant radius ), length ( dendrites are restricted to a small region around the cell body while axons can be much longer ), and function ( dendrites usually receive signals while axons usually transmit them ).

While this disturbance is usually small, it is still noticeable to the human ear.

As widespread inefficiencies in numbering ( such as the assignment of entire blocks of 10000 numbers to every competing carrier in every small village to support local number portability schemes ) have created shortages of available numbers, these prefixes are often " reclaimed " and issued as standard exchanges, moving the handful of numbers in them to one standard test exchange ( usually 958 ).
