Question
Differentiate between Myelinated and non-myelinated axons.
Advertisements
Solution
| Myelinated axons | non-myelinated axons | |
| 1. | Nerve impulse conduction is saltatory. | Nerve impulse conduction is smooth. |
| 2. | Myelinated axon have a myelin sheath. | Myelin sheath is absent. |
| 3. | Node of Ranvier is present between adjacent myelin sheaths. | Node of Ranvier is absent. |
| 4. | Found in the brain, the spinal cord, the cranial and spinal nerves | Found in autonomous and somatic neural systems |
| 5. | Schwann cells are observed inside the myelin sheath | Schwann cells are not observed inside the myelin sheath |
| 6. | Schwann cells in axons generate myelin sheaths. | The myelin sheath is lacking. |
| 7. | Voltage-gated ion channels are concentrated at the nodes, and depolarization only occurs there. | Voltage-gated ion channels are found throughout the axon, and depolarization occurs along the length of the nerve fibre. |
| 8. | Ion exchange can only happen at the nodes. | Ion exchange happens over the surface. |
