Which of the following statements is correct for node of Ranvier of nerve?

  1. Neurilemma is discontinuous
  2. Myelin sheath is discontinuous
  3. Both neurilemma and myelin sheath are discontinuous
  4. Covered by myelin sheath

Answer

(2) Myelin sheath is discontinuous

Solution

As per NCERT, myelinated nerve fibres are enveloped with Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath around the axon. The gaps between two adjacent myelin sheaths are called nodes of Ranvier.

⇒ At a node the myelin sheath is absent (discontinuous), while the neurilemma continues over it.

∴ At the node of Ranvier, the myelin sheath is discontinuous.

Answer: (2)
