Elemental distribution of Na, P, Cl and K in different structures of myelinated nerve of Rana esculenta

R Rick et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Measurements of the distribution of Na, P, Cl and K were performed in different structures of the myelinated nerve. Whereas the axon shows a typical intracellular distribution pattern for Na, Cl and K, the interstitial space and the myelin sheath show a typical extracellular pattern. These measurements have demonstrated that Na is present in the myelin sheath close to the node of Ranvier.
