Myelinated nerve, TEM C016 / 5840
Myelinated nerve. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a myelinated nerve fibre and Schwann cell. Myelin (pink) is an insulating fatty layer that surrounds the nerve fibre (axon, centre), increasing the speed at which nerve impulses travel. It is formed when Schwann cells (yellow) wrap around the fibre, depositing layers of myelin between each coil. The outermost layer consists of the Schwann cells cytoplasm and is known as the neurolemma or sheath of Schwann.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a myelinated nerve, providing us with a glimpse into the complex world of our nervous system. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we witness the remarkable structure and function of a myelinated nerve fibre and its surrounding Schwann cell. The vibrant pink hue represents the myelin, an insulating fatty layer that envelops the nerve fibre at its core. This protective coating plays a crucial role in enhancing the speed at which nerve impulses travel throughout our body. The process begins when Schwann cells, depicted in striking yellow, encase the fibre and deposit layers of myelin between each coil. The outermost layer visible here consists of cytoplasm from the Schwann cells and is known as either neurolemma or sheath of Schwann. It acts as an additional shield for this vital communication pathway within our biological system. Through this mesmerizing image captured by R. BICK and B. POINDEXTER from UT Medical School/Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both the microscopic wonders hidden within our bodies and their profound impact on human health. As we delve deeper into neuroscience and neurology, images like these remind us of how intricately connected every aspect of our biology truly is - from individual neurons to comprehensive systems working harmoniously together to ensure normal bodily functions are maintained efficiently.
