The gaps between two adjacent myelin sheaths are called:
A(A) Schwann
B(B) Nodes of Ranvier
C(C) Cyton
D(D) Nissl's granules
Answer:
B. (B) Nodes of Ranvier
Read Explanation:
The nodes of Ranvier are the gaps between two adjacent myelin sheaths along a myelinated nerve fibre.
These nodes play a crucial role in the conduction of nerve impulses by allowing saltatory conduction, where the nerve impulse "jumps" from one node to the next, speeding up the transmission of signals along the axon.
