Question

unmyelinated areas of the axon which are gaps between myelinated areas or schwann cells are called?
nissl bodies
nodes of ranvier
oligodendrocytes
schwann cell spaces

Explanation:

• Nissl bodies are granular structures in neurons involved in protein synthesis.
• Nodes of Ranvier are the unmyelinated gaps between myelinated segments of an axon (or between Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system).
• Oligodendrocytes are glial cells that myelinate axons in the central nervous system.
• "Schwann cell spaces" is not a standard anatomical term for these gaps.

Answer:

B. Nodes of Ranvier
