Upgraded B005 Ntbi06 01 Blk 41 Diagram Illustrating Saltatory Conductio — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.
A highly labeled, longitudinal diagram of an axon showing the cell body, dendrites, myelin sheath (formed by Schwann cells/Oligodendrocytes), Nodes of Ranvier, and the path of the action potential. Labelled parts: Action Potential, Nodes of Ranvier, Myelin Sheath, Dendrites, Sheath, longitudinal of an axon the cell body, formed by Schwann cells/Oligodendrocytes. A rapid rise and fall in voltage or membrane potential across a cellular membrane. Periodic gaps in the myelin sheath along the axon of a neuron where the axonal membrane is exposed. FYI: These nodes facilitate saltatory conduction, allowing nerve impulses to 'jump' and travel much faster. An insulating layer around the axon that increases the speed of nerve impulse transmission. Branch-like extensions of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons. A contractile protein tube in bacteriophages that surrounds the hollow core and facilitates DNA injection into the host. FYI: When the sheath contracts, the internal core pierces the bacterial cell wall like a molecular syringe. longitudinal of an axon the cell body is a labeled feature or concept in this upgraded BioAtlas image: A highly labeled, longitudinal diagram of an axon showing the cell body, dendrites, myelin sheath (formed by Schwann cells/Oligodendrocytes), Nodes of Ranvier, and the path of t... formed by Schwann cells/Oligodendrocytes is a labeled feature or concept in this upgraded BioAtlas image: A highly labeled, longitudinal diagram of an axon showing the cell body, dendrites, myelin sheath (formed by Schwann cells/Oligodendrocytes), Nodes of Ranvier, and the path of t...
