Question

Medullated nerve fibre in axon is covered by
  1. Medullary sheath
  2. Neurolemma
  3. Mitochondria
  4. Both A and B

A
Mitochondria
B
Neurolemma
C
Medullary sheath
D
Both A and B
Solution
Verified by Toppr

A medullated nerve fiber is also called as myelinated nerve fiber. The nerve fibers, which are covered by the myelin sheath are called as medullated nerve fibers. Myelin sheath is derived from Schwann cells. Myelin sheath is made up of alternate concentric layers of lipids and proteins. Myelinated nerve fiber also shows the presence of neurolemma. It covers the nerve fiber.

So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'

(b) Myelinated nerve fibres found in autonomous and the somatic neural systems
(c) The myelinated nerve fibres are enveloped with Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath around the axon.
(d) The gap between two adjacent myelin sheaths are calleds nodes of Ranvier.

Q5
Assertion:
A myelinated nerve fibre is enveloped by Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath around the axon.

Reason:
An unmyelinated nerve fibre is not enclosed by a Schwann cell and hence does not form a myelin sheath around the axon.
