What is the layer of myelin that surrounds an axon called?

Group of answer choices

1. Node of Ranvier
2. Perichondrium
3. Perimysium
4. Myelin sheath
5. Periosteum

Respuesta :

The gaps (approximately 1 micrometer wide) formed between myelin sheath cells long the axons are called Nodes of Ranvier. Since fat serves as a good insulator, the myelin sheaths speed the rate of transmission of an electrical impulse along the axon.

I think the answer is Nodes of Ranvier but I’m not sure. I hope this helped <3
