Chapter 13, Problem 13.3.6AYLO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The purpose of small gaps in internodal segments in the myelin sheath.
Introduction:
The myelin sheath is an insulating covering around the nerve cell. It is formed by oligodendrocyte glial cells in the CNS and Schwann glial cells in the PNS. The composition of the myelin sheath is basically of the plasma membrane of the glial cells. The formation of the myelin sheath is termed as myelination.

- Neuromuscular junction, also called myoneural junction, site of chemical communication between a nerve fibre and a muscle cell. The neuromuscular junction is analogous to the synapse between two neurons. A nerve fibre divides into many terminal branches; each terminal ends on a region of muscle fibre called the end plate. Synaptic Cleft is the space between the presynaptic terminal and postsynaptic cell. It is roughly the size of 30 nm. The synaptic cleft allows the neurotransmitters to diffuse and reach the other side of the synapse or the neuromuscular junction. It also contains enzymes for the degradation of the excess or extra neurotransmitters. Embedded in the end plate are thousands of receptors, which are long protein molecules that form channels through the membrane. Upon stimulation by a nerve impulse, the terminal releases the chemical neurotransmitter acetylcholine from synaptic vesicles. Acetylcholine then binds to the receptors, the channels open, and sodium ions flow into…arrow_forwardNeuron(key terms:dendrites, axo,electrical signals, communication) One important structure/feature of a neuron isarrow_forwardA(n)______neuron has one axon and one____ dendrite extending directly from the cell body. unipolar bipolar multipolar pseudounipolararrow_forward
