Description for Myelinated Fibers and Saltatory Conduction in the Shrimp
Paperback. Surprisingly, the conduction velocity in shrimp nerve is the fastest among all nerve fibers in the animal kingdom. In this volume, readers will find a description of both the origin and mechanisms of nerve impulse conduction in shrimp. Num Pages: 128 pages, 3 black & white illustrations, 47 colour illustrations, 4 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSAN; PSF; PSV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 7. Weight in Grams: 209.
In 1961, neurobiologists found that the conduction velocity of the nerve impulse in the giant nerve fiber of the Penaeus shrimp abdominal nerve cord was over 200 m/s, the highest speed of information transmission ever observed in the animal kingdom. The peculiar myelin sheath with its unique nodal structure and the electrical properties of the nerve fibers of the shrimp have continued to be investigated for a quarter of century and are now fully described in this book. The investigation dispels the commonly held belief that the fastest recorded impulse conduction is about 120 m/s in the thickest vertebrate myelinated ... Read more
