Ranvier

(How the regeneration takes place is uncertain, though there is a strong suspicion that the nodes of Ranvier are involved.)

The Human Brain Asimov, Isaac 1963

The newspapers state that Delescluze, Cluseret, Félix Pyat, and Ranvier have been made prisoners, but the news is not officially confirmed.

B, a medullated nerve fiber at a node or constriction of Ranvier, the axis cylinder passes uninterruptedly from one segment into the other, but the medullary sheath is interrupted.

Two nerve fibers, showing the nodes or constrictions of Ranvier and the axis cylinder.

According to Ranvier they contain granules of a material which has the characteristics of beeswax.

The nuclei are oval and somewhat flattened, and bear a definite relation to the nodes of Ranvier, one nucleus generally lying in the center of each internode.

IX. Neurology. 1. Structure of the Nervous System 1918

—When nerve fibers are cut across, the central ends of the fibers degenerate as far as the first node of Ranvier; but the peripheral ends degenerate simultaneously throughout their whole length.

IX. Neurology. 1. Structure of the Nervous System 1918

The medullary sheath undergoes interruptions in its continuity at regular intervals, giving to the fiber the appearance of constriction at these points: these are known as the nodes of Ranvier (Figs. 631 and 633).

R., the nodes of Ranvier. n.m.f., a non-medullated fibre.

Text Book of Biology, Part 1: Vertebrata 1906

Saltatory conduction happens when the action potential skips across the tops of the Nodes of Ranvier and meets with the axon after each node.
