In relatively primitive organisms like clams, all nerves are unmyelinated. From Wordnik.com. [Stem cells, Part 1, Introduction and Ethics] Reference
In humans, some nerves remain unmyelinated, and those holdovers from early evolutionary time can't be anesthetised. From Wordnik.com. [Stem cells, Part 1, Introduction and Ethics] Reference
Those sensations are coming via unmyelinated nerves, and give you some idea of the level of sensation in an embryo. From Wordnik.com. [Stem cells, Part 1, Introduction and Ethics] Reference
These unmyelinated, specialized nerve fibers, called C-tactile fibers, each cover about one square centimeter of skin. From Wordnik.com. [Suzie Heumann: Pleasure Fibers & Touch: Pleasuring Me Pleasures You] Reference
These constricted unmyelinated regions are called nodes of Ran-vier (rahn-vee-ay), after the French histologist Louis Antoine. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
But there is a second slow-conducting nerve network of unmyelinated fibres, called C-tactile (CT), the role of which was unknown. From Wordnik.com. [Boing Boing: July 28, 2002 - August 3, 2002 Archives] Reference
When unmyelinated axons are checked for laminin, only nascent laminin is found in situ. From Wordnik.com. [CreationWiki - Recent changes [en]]
It also requires much less sodium than the unmyelinated axons do because it does not employ the use of a sodium-potassium pump. From Wordnik.com. [CreationWiki - Recent changes [en]]
When nerve cells are unmyelinated, the axon has a smaller diameter and contains neurofilaments that are less modified and are more compact. From Wordnik.com. [Kansas City infoZine Headlines] Reference
If we have unmyelinated and myelinated axons and they can vary in diameter, how exactly do we have people who are specialists on these things. From Wordnik.com. [Serendip's Exchange -] Reference
Other planned experiments will focus on how electrical signals travel through myelinated and unmyelinated nerves to reveal how nerves malfunction. From Wordnik.com. [Nano Tech Wire] Reference
Numerous unmyelinated nerves provide sympathetic stimulation to adipocyte - Non-shivering thermogenesis stimulated by increase in circulating noradrenalin - Avoid lethal cold / hypothermia. From Wordnik.com. [Recently Uploaded Slideshows] Reference
In summary, the factors favoring the triggering of pain by either unmyelinated C-fibers or myelinated Aδ-fibers include the low/high rate of stimulation, the low/high base temperature of the skin and the short/long peripheral path. From Wordnik.com. [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference
The data demonstrated a direct neuroregenerative effect of SB-509 treatment that resulted in a statistically significant (p value = 0.02) increase in small unmyelinated nerve fibers in the skin, or intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD), in subjects with DN. From Wordnik.com. Reference
Slide 16: Vertebrate CNS Cephalized • Centralized • Integration and processing of • information White matter - axons in the CNS • Gray matter - cell bodies, dendrites, • unmyelinated axons Central canal of the spinal cord • Ventricles of the brain •. From Wordnik.com. [Recently Uploaded Slideshows] Reference
Although we did not make a formal determination of the conduction velocity of the fibers that triggered the sensation of warmth, the psychophysical latencies of the warm responses were found to be compatible with unmyelinated C-fibers at the faster end of their range (~2 m/s). From Wordnik.com. [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference
These receptors are called "nociceptors" and are free nerve endings connected to small diameter myelinated A and unmyelinated C nerve fibers - these are the nerve fibers that are LACKING in people with congenital insensitivity to pain (here is more information about nerve fibers). From Wordnik.com. [Recently Uploaded Slideshows] Reference
Nociceptors (AMH) conducting at medium velocities and unmyelinated polymodal C-nociceptors (CMH) conducting at low velocities, there are two subcategories characterized by slowly (Type I) and rapidly (Type II) adapting responses to stepped heat stimuli, respectively.
