Myelinated And Unmyelinated Nerves Flashcards
Schwann cells
In the peripheral nervous system responsible for production of insulating myelin as well.
Oligodendrocytes
In the brain and spinal cord are responsible for TE production of insulating myelin.
Internodes
Myelinated regions between adjacent Nodes of Ranvier
Unmyelinated axons
Often found in close association with a single Schwann Cell. Do not contain numerous layers of insulation.
Cytoplasm of Schwann cell
Contains a prominent Nucleus, mitochondria, Rough endoplasmic reticulum & Golgi apparatus.
Mitochondria
ATP production.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Protein synthesis
Golgi apparatus
Packaging of synthesized products.
Basal lamina
Collagen mucopolysaccharide layer situated between the outer cell membrane of the Schwann cell and the endometrium.
Endoneurium
Innermost delicate connective tissue
Neurolemma
Cell membrane of the Schwann cell & the basal lamina
