When and Where I found this word: In the Fisher & Frey article for Chapter 1 of Background Knowledge.
Definition based on context: the anatomy of the nervous system. The text discusses background knowledge and uses an excerpt from a neuroanatomy text to establish a point.
Familiarity: I have never heard or read this word. This encounter was my first time being exposed to the word, so I am not familiar with the word at all.
Reflective commentary: I know that this is a Tier 3 vocabulary term as it is highly specialized term that would be recognizable by medical students/staff. I do not believe this is a word that should be known unless a person is studying the nervous system or is being treated for an issue with the nervous system. However, I am happy that I took the time to find out what this word means as it may be the answer to a trivia question.
