A stylized diagram shows a myelinated peripheral axon wrapped by sequential glial cells that form insulating internodes. The illustration depicts Schwann cells, a glial cell type within peripheral nerve tissue of the PNS (peripheral nervous system), surrounding a single neuron’s axon between nodes of Ranvier to create the myelin sheath. In the biological hierarchy, glial cells support neuronal cells within the nervous system. In neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, this myelination enables saltatory conduction and increases action potential conduction velocity.
