THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF ADULT VERTEBRATE PERIPHERAL MYELINATED NERVE FIBERS IN RELATION TO MYELINOGENESIS

Open access
Robertson, J. David·1955·The Journal of Cell Biology

Abstract

Adult chameleon myelinated peripheral nerve fibers have been studied with the electron microscope in thin sections. The outer lamella of the myelin sheath has been found to be connected as a double membrane to the surface of the Schwann cell. The inner lamella is connected as a similar double membrane with the double axon-Schwann membrane. The relations of these double connecting membranes suggest that the layered myelin structure is composed of a double membrane which is closely wound about the axon as a helix. These findings support the new theory of myelinogenesis proposed recently by Geren. The possible significance of these results with respect to cell surface membranes and cytoplasmic double membranes is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
