Discover the function and importance of the myelin sheath in the nervous system and its role in nerve impulse conduction.
Myelin Proteomics: Molecular Anatomy of an Insulating Sheath Cataloging the myelin proteome has been made possible by technical advances in the separation and mass spectrometric detection of proteins, also referred to ... O Jahn,THB Werner - 《Molecular Neurobiology》 被引量: 233发表: 2009年 In ...
The function of the myelin sheath is to increase the conduction velocity as the nervous impulse jumps from one node to the next. Smaller axons are not myelinated and conduct much more slowly. Nerve structure is not mature until about 12 years of age. In later life there may be spontaneous...
Myelin sheath: Many layers of myelin. Nodes of Ranvier Blank space between Schwann cells. What are graded potentials? Small deviations from out resting membrane potential. They result from the opening for closing of ligand-gated ion channels in response to a stimulus from a closeby neuron. ...
Nodes of Ranvier.Because the myelin sheath is formed by many individual Schwann cells, it has gaps, or indentations, called nodes of Ranvier. Classification Neurons may be classified either according to how they function or according to their structure. ...

node of Ranvier - one of the many gaps in the myelin sheath - this is where the action potential occurs during saltatory conduction along the axon nucleus - the organelle in the cell body of the neuron that contains the genetic material of the cell Schwann's cells - cells that produce...
The soma’s position allows for further classification of type I cells. The soma, the cell body of type I neurons, and the long, thin axon wrapped by the myelin sheath are their main structural components. Spinal motor neurons represent type I neurons. ...
sheath composed of Schwann cells, which are necessary for nerve regeneration. There are regular intervals along peripheral axons where the myelin sheath is interrupted. These areas, called nodes of Ranvier, are the points between which nerve impulses, in myelinated fibers, jump, rather than pass,...
在周围神经系统中,施万细胞Schwann cell(属神经胶质细胞)的突起卷绕神经元轴突形成了髓鞘 myelin sheath,髓鞘主要由蛋白质和类脂质构成了轴突外的同心圆板层,有一定绝缘作用,以保证了轴突高速传导电信号的功能。根据神经纤维是否具有髓鞘而将其分为有髓纤维和无髓纤维两种。所谓无髓纤维是指一条或多条神经元轴突被一...
