ISIS death toll from MOAB strike in Afghanistan rises to 94 according to local reports. Last Thursday, the United States deployed its largest non-nuclear weapon against an underground ISIS stronghold in Afghanistan.
The myelin sheath is a layer of fat and protein that covers the axon of a neuron, or nerve cell.The axon, which is a long, thin projection, is designed to carry electrical signals from a neuron to other cells.he myelin sheath is a layer of fat and protein that covers the axon of a neuron, or nerve cell.
The myelin sheath is a greatly extended and modified plasma membrane wrapped around the nerve axon in a spiral fashion [ 1 ]. The myelin membranes originate from and are a part of the Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the oligodendroglial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) (see Chap. 1).Each myelin-generating cell furnishes myelin for only one segment of any given axon.wo adjacent segments of myelin on one axon are separated by a node of Ranvier. In this region, the axon is not covered by myelin. At the paranodal region and the Schmidt-Lantermann clefts, the cytoplasmic surfaces of myelin are not compacted and Schwann or glial cell cytoplasm is included within the sheath.
