Myelin is a lipid-rich (fatty) substance formed in the central nervous system (CNS) by glial cells called oligodendrocytes, and in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) by Schwann cells. Each myelin sheath (of which there are many along each axon, is formed by the concentric wrapping of an oligodendrocyte or Schwann cell process around the axon. The axon is somewhat similar to an electrical wire and the myelin can be likened to the insulating material around it. The myelinated axon provides a route for information to travel very rapidly from one nerve cell body to another (as in the CNS) or, for example, from a nerve cell body to a muscle (as in the PNS). * Myelin speeds the transmission of electrical impulses called action potentials along myelinated axons by insulating the axon and reducing axonal membrane capacitance. This results in saltatory conduction whereby the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next, until it reaches the axon terminal. Here, this electrical |
