nerve fibers, myelinated

Preferred Label : nerve fibers, myelinated;

MeSH definition : A class of nerve fibers as defined by their structure, specifically the nerve sheath arrangement. The AXONS of the myelinated nerve fibers are completely encased in a MYELIN SHEATH. They are fibers of relatively large and varied diameters. Their NEURAL CONDUCTION rates are faster than those of the unmyelinated nerve fibers (NERVE FIBERS, UNMYELINATED). Myelinated nerve fibers are present in somatic and autonomic nerves.;

MeSH synonym : myelinated nerve fibers; myelinated nerve fiber; fiber, myelinated nerve; nerve fiber, myelinated; fibers, myelinated nerve;

MeSH hyponym : B fibers; A fibers; A Fiber; Fiber, A; Fibers, A; B Fiber; Fiber, B; Fibers, B;
