True
Remember that the Schwann cells are made of myelin sheath which insulate the impulse, but also block the sodium ion/potassium ion channels. Therefore there has to be a point where the action potential 'jumps' to, and these are the gaps between the Schwann cells, they are called the Nodes of Ranvier.
The spaces along the axon and between the myelin sheath are known as the nodes of Ranvier. They are responsible for speeding up the signals that are transmitted along the axon of the nerve. While the myelin sheath consists of many layers that protect the axon, the nodes of Ranvier are uncovered, giving them the ability to produce an electrical charge.
Node of Ranvier
The nodes Ranvier are spaced equally along the axon because of their function which is to transmit information to the different glands, muscles and neurons. The axon is also called a nerve fiber.
In the fatty myelin sheath there are gaps between the axons. The myelin sheath gaps are referred to as the nodes of Ranvier.
Nodes of Ranvier - band - ended in 2007.
Nodes of Ranvier - band - was created in 2000.
Nodes of Ranvier
Sensory neurons, also known as Afferent neurons carry information toward the CNS.
A Node of Ranvier is the space between two myelinated segments on an axon, while an internode is the space between two Nodes of Ranvier (alternativenly, the myelinated segment).
Nodes of Ranvier
First at the axon hillock where the neural impulse is initially triggered, and then at the nodes of Ranvier as the impulse continues to travel along the axon.(Note that the impulse travels as electrotonic conduction between the nodes of Ranvier, underneath the glial cells which myelinate the axon.)
