Saltatory conduction is used to transport action potentials across myelinated sheaths called Nodes of Ranvier in these structures.
Granular bodies in these structures are named for a German whose stain revealed them, Franz Nissl. They contain a tight junction called a hillock. Saltatory conduction is used to transport action potentials across myelinated sheaths called Nodes of Ranvier in these structures. They receive metabolic and structural support from neighboring glial cells. The body of these cells is called the soma, and they possess dendrites and axons. For 10 points, name these specialized cells that connect to each other to form networks in the body's central and peripheral nervous systems.
