Axonal conductance supported by glial cells - Bársony Szabolcs -

Glial cells

Features of myelinated fibers in the PNS Schwann cells rotate around the axon Resulting in the formation Concetric, multi-laminar stucture myelin 80% lipid + 20% protein Not continuous  Ranvier nodes Seed up the propagation Myelinated fibres within the CNS Oligodendrocytes  provide support insulation to axons creating the myelin sheath extend its processes to 50 axons Ranvier nodes also exist
