Neurolemmocytes (or Schwann cells) wrap around an axon to form a
myelin sheath, and are arranged sequentially along its length. |
|
Where adjacent neurolemmocytes cells
meet, a narrow gap (neurofibral node or node of Ranvier) is seen in
the myelin sheath, appearing in this PERIPHERAL NERVE - LONGITUDINAL
SECTION slide as an indentation or a thin line
perpendicular to the axon.
