Difference between Group C nerve fiber and Myelin

Group C nerve fiber vs. Myelin

Group C nerve fibers are one of three classes of nerve fiber in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Myelin is a lipid-rich substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells, forming an electrically insulating layer.

Similarities between Group C nerve fiber and Myelin

Group C nerve fiber and Myelin have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Axon, Central nervous system, Cognition, Multiple sclerosis, Peripheral nervous system, Peripheral neuropathy, Schwann cell.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

Cognition

Cognition is "the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses".

Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged.

Peripheral nervous system

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is one of the two components of the nervous system, the other part is the central nervous system (CNS).

Peripheral neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is damage to or disease affecting nerves, which may impair sensation, movement, gland or organ function, or other aspects of health, depending on the type of nerve affected.

Schwann cell

Schwann cells (named after physiologist Theodor Schwann) or neurolemmocytes are the principal glia of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Group C nerve fiber and Myelin Comparison

Group C nerve fiber has 93 relations, while Myelin has 79. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 4.65% = 8 / (93 + 79).
