The nerves that make up the peripheral nervous system are actually the axons (or bundles of axons) from nerve cells or ...

The fiber that conducts the nerve impulse is a tubelike structure. Its operation can be studied by squeezing the contents out of the giant axon of the squid and replacing them with various solutions ...

An example of PNS myelinated nerve fiber is shown. (B) Illustration of transverse section of myelinated axon at the internode. (C) Light microscopy of a mouse sciatic nerve at lower magnification.

A bundle of neurones is called a nerve. There are three main types of neurone: sensory, motor and relay. They have some features in common: A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty ...

These axons extend over distances long and short to reach their target, ultimately connecting neurons with other nerve tissue, muscle tissue, or sensory organs (Figure 1A). For example ...

The researchers hypothesized that TDP-43 accumulation in muscle nerve bundles could be used to diagnose ALS because previous research in mice found it has an important function in axons, the part of ...

Each nerve cell, or neuron, has three parts: a cell body, which contains a nucleus, mitochondria and other organelles essential for cell function; a long tail called an axon, which transmits ...
