Chapter 12.3, Problem 2AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The structure of the myelin sheath as well as how CNS and PNS produce it.
Introduction:
The myelin sheath is an outgrowth of neuroglia, a fatty substance that is present in the axon of some neurons. It is essential for the proper working of the nervous system. The myelin sheath is an outer covering of axon that protects the neuron and increases the speed of signal transmission.

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_forward
