Gaps between segments of oligodendrocytes or between individual schwann cells are called?
The spaces along the axon and between the myelin sheath are known as the nodes of Ranvier. They are responsible for speeding up the signals that are transmitted along the axon of the nerve. While the myelin sheath consists of many layers that protect the axon, the nodes of Ranvier are uncovered, giving them the ability to produce an electrical charge.
What is the main difference between manet and vanet?
In manet node Mobility is slow. In Manet no Fixed Infrastructure . In Vanet Node Mobility Very high. In Vanet have Fixed Infrastructure . Ex . BTS
Is saltatory conduction faster than conduction on an unmyelinated fiber?
wherever the Schwann cells wrap around the axon, the sodium and potassium ions cannot cross the membrane; the Schwann cells wrap too tightly around the axonal membrane for there to be any extracellular space underneath them. Therefore, the only place that an action potential can occur is at the node of Ranvier-- the space between the Schwann cells. Because of this, the action potential seems to jump from node to node along the axon. "Jumping" is what the word "saltatory" means.
What is node and antinode?
Node is the point on the vibrating string with zero amplitude and antinode is the point where amplitude is the maximum. The distance between successive node will be half of the wavelength.
What is Cardiopulmonary node?
cardiopulmonary node
