Myelin incisure
Development
In the peripheral nervous system (PNS) axons can be either myelinated or unmyelinated. These pockets, or "incisures", can subdivide the myelinated axon into irregular portions.

Saltatory conduction
Mechanism
Myelinated axons only allow action potentials to occur at the unmyelinated nodes of Ranvier that occur between the myelinated internodes. Distribution
Saltatory conduction occurs widely in the myelinated nerve fibers of vertebrates, but was later discovered in a pair of medial myelinated

At small axon diameters (<1 µm), why does myelination not increase neuronal conduction velocity? As per the diagram below (and other graphs available online), why do unmyelinated fibres have a higher conduction veloci...
Graphs like these are based on a _complete cross-sectional area_. Myelination adds thickness, so if you want to add myelin outside and keep the same diameter, you have to have a smaller lumen inside the axon. As you can see in the "unmyelinated" plot versus diameter, smaller fibers have lower conduc...

Group A nerve fiber
Group A are heavily myelinated, group B are moderately myelinated, and group C are unmyelinated. C fibers, but more slowly than other, more thickly myelinated group A nerve fibers.

Action potential attenuation in unmyelinated axons vs demyelinated axons I learnt that action potentials travel much faster along myelinated axons, and when these axons are demyelinated the action potentials travel mu...
Myelinated axons are built differently. They have stretches of myelinated axon which are (mostly) free of voltage-gated channels, interrupted by nodes of Ranvier that lack myelin but have dense

Striatopallidal fibres
The striatopallidal fibres, also Wilson's pencils, pencil fibres of Wilson, and pencils of Wilson, are prominent myelinated fibres that connect the striatum

What is the function of nodes of Ranvier in axons? In a neuroscience class I'm taking, it was explained that myelin covers axons in sections, the uncovered sections are called nodes of Ranvier, and signals propagate m...
Every signal rapidly fades out with distance if it is not amplified. So if the whole axon were covered with myelin, action potentials wouldn't reach their target. Each Ranvier node can be seen as an active signal repeater.

Group B nerve fiber
They are moderately myelinated, which means less myelinated than group A nerve fibers, and more myelinated than group C nerve fibers.

White ramus communicans
White rami communicantes contain both myelinated and unmyelinated preganglionic sympathetic fibers, (GVE and GVA). The white ramus appears white because there are more myelinated than unmyelinated fibers unlike the gray rami.

What gives nerves their silver colour? I always thought the silver colour specific to nerves was due to the myelin sheaths, but I've observed that unmyelinated C fibres display that same silvery appearance. Where does...
This surrounds all nerves, whether they contain myelinated fibers, unmyelinated fibers, or both. Hence, whether a nerve contains myelinated axons, unmyelinated ones, or both will not determine its outward appearance.
