Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride Concentrations in the Schwann Cell and Axon of the Squid Nerve Fiber
Sodium, potassium, and chloride concentrations were determined in the sheath cells and axoplasm of the nerve fiber of the squid Sepioteuthis sepioidea. The sheaths were obtained by slitting the nerve fiber, the extracellular electrolytes were washed out in isotonic sucrose solution, and the concentrations in the cells were determined after different soaking times in the sucrose solution. Values...
متن کاملAxon/Schwann-cell relationships in the giant nerve fibre of the squid.
This communication summarizes the experimental evidence obtained in the giant nerve fibre of the tropical squid Sepioteuthis sepioidea, on the nature of the mechanism responsible for the long-lasting effects of axonal excitation on the membrane potential of the Schwann cell. In these nerve fibres the propagation of a train of nerve impulses by the axon is followed by a prolonged hyperpolarizati...
متن کاملSchwann Cell and Axon Electrical Potential Differences
In fifty-seven resting nerve fibers of the squid Sepioteuthis sepioidea impaled from outside to inside, three potential difference (PD) levels were recorded. In twelve nerve fibers the position of the tip of the micropipette, when it was recording one of the PD levels, was labeled with carmine, and the minute spot of dye was localized histologically. The first PD level of -10 to -26 mv, was loc...
متن کاملTransfer of newly synthesized proteins from Schwann cells to the squid giant axon.
The squid giant axon is presented as a model for the study of macromolecular interaction between cells in the nervous system. When the isolated giant axon was incubated in sea water containing [(3)H]leucine for 0.5-5 hr, newly synthesized proteins appeared in the sheath and axoplasm as demonstrated by: (i) radioautography, (ii) separation of the sheath and axoplasm by extrusion, and (iii) perfu...
متن کاملAxon degeneration: make the Schwann cell great again
Axonal degeneration is a pivotal feature of many neurodegenerative conditions and substantially accounts for neurological morbidity. A widely used experimental model to study the mechanisms of axonal degeneration is Wallerian degeneration (WD), which occurs after acute axonal injury. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), WD is characterized by swift dismantling and clearance of injured axons ...
