The unmyelinated areas on myeliated nerve fibres are
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Nodes of Ranvier
Schwann/Schwarm cells of peripheral nervous system produce the myelin sheath around the myelinated fibers. Gaps between two Schwann cells form nodes of Ranvier which are the unmyelinated areas. Dendrites are the small extension of nerve cells that receive signals from sensory receptors or other neurons and brings them towards the cell body. The synaptic knob is the small button like structure present at the end of the axonal branch at the synapse and serves to store the neurotransmitters which are released in the synaptic cleft. The correct answer is A.
