THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF ADULT VERTEBRATE PERIPHERAL MYELINATED NERVE FIBERS IN RELATION TO MYELINOGENESIS

Adult chameleon myelinated peripheral nerve fibers have been studied with the electron microscope in thin sections. The outer lamella of the myelin sheath has been found to be connected as a double membrane to the surface of the Schwann cell. The inner lamella is connected as a similar double membra...

description Adult chameleon myelinated peripheral nerve fibers have been studied with the electron microscope in thin sections. The outer lamella of the myelin sheath has been found to be connected as a double membrane to the surface of the Schwann cell. The inner lamella is connected as a similar double membrane with the double axon-Schwann membrane. The relations of these double connecting membranes suggest that the layered myelin structure is composed of a double membrane which is closely wound about the axon as a helix. These findings support the new theory of myelinogenesis proposed recently by Geren. The possible significance of these results with respect to cell surface membranes and cytoplasmic double membranes is discussed.
