Gaps in myelin sheath are called
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Nodes of Ranvier
The length of the myelin sheath along the axon is approximately 1 mm in the PNS. Between two adjacent myelin segments, there are approximately 1-μm-long gaps called nodes of Ranvier that help in transfer of impulse in a saltatory manner.Hence, the correct answer is (B)
