Question
what are the small gaps in the myelin sheath called?
oligodendrocytes
nodes of ranvier
synaptic clefts
axon hillocks
schwann cells
The myelin sheath is interrupted at regular intervals by small gaps. These gaps are known as the Nodes of Ranvier. Oligodendrocytes are cells that form myelin in the central nervous - system. Synaptic clefts are the spaces between neurons at synapses. Axon hillocks are the part of a neuron where the axon originates. Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system.
