Українська: Цей файл в конкурсі участі не бере і не буде оцінюватися (бо автор – організатор і член журі конкурсу). Проте зображення потрібне для ілюстрації деяких статей, і автор давно хотіла його зробити – а тут такий гарний привід =) Опис зображення: Схематичне зображення поширення потенціалу дії через мієлінізоване волокно периферичної нервової системи. English: This image is made by one of the local juries of the contest. The image is not part of the contest, and will not participate in the competition and will not be rated. But it was helluva fun to make =) and some articles really need illustrations. Image description: Schematic representation of the action potential propagation through myelinated nerve fiber of peripheral nervous system. From axon hillock of neuron body (soma) action potential propagates from one unmyelinated fiber part to next one. The unmyelinated parts of the nerve fiber are nodes of Ranvier. This way of action potential propagation is called saltatory conduction (red arrows in the diagram) Ion channels open, allow potassium ions to enter the cell leading to membrane depolarization and generation of action potential. Myelination of nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system is achieved by Schwann cells wrapping around an axon part (cross section). The nucleus and most of the Schwan cell cytoplasm are contained in the outer most layer called neurilemma. Own work loosely based on Raphael Alya R., Talbot William S. (2011). "New Insights into Signaling During Myelination in Zebrafish". Current topics in developmental biology 97: 1–19. DOI:10.1016/B978-0-12-385975-4.00007-3. ISSN 00702153.Min Y., Kristiansen K., Boggs J.
