 #### Cross-section planes
 Cross-section planes can be cell-based or mesh-based:
 
-- Cell-based: Cross-section planes can be rendered in either X,Y,Z axis along the centroid (mid-plane) of either dendrites, or axons, or at the center of cell soma
+- Tree-based: Cross-section planes can be rendered in either X,Y,Z axis along the centroid (mid-plane) of either dendrites, or axons, or at the center of cell soma
 - Mesh-based: Cross-section planes can be rendered in either X,Y,Z axis along the centroid (mid-plane) of the mesh
 
 #### Surfaces
 Similarly to [convex hulls](#convex-hull), surfaces reflect enclosing polyhedrons. Surfaces can also be of two types:
 
-- Cell-based: Cell-based surfaces can be assembled from the point cloud defined by branch-points or tips of a neuronal arbor
+- Tree-based: Cell-based surfaces can be assembled from the point cloud defined by branch-points or tips of a neuronal arbor
 - Mesh-based: Mesh-based surfaces can be assembled from the point cloud of the mesh's vertices associated with either the left or the right hemisphere (bilaterians model organisms)
