Structure of the Neuronal Soma and Axon

Identify the ...

Question

Identify the statements as true/false. (i) Nodes of Ranvier is absent in nonmyelinatedneuron.

Open in App

Solution

True.

• The gaps between two adjacent myelin sheaths are called nodes of Ranvier.
• Unmyelinated nerve fibre is enclosed by a Schwann cell that does not form a myelin sheath around the axon.
• Thus, nodes of Ranvier are only present when the axon of a neuron is myelinated.
