11. Histopathology of peripheral nerve shows reduced number of myelinated and non-myelinated axons. 12. In some cases, patients have shown mental retardation and loss of myelinated axons. 13. Myelinated axons are known as nerve fibers.14. The length of axons'myelinated segments is important to the success of saltatory conduction. 15. To ensure faster and more efficient propagation of action potentials, the axon is myelinated . 16. In the peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) axons can be either myelinated or unmyelinated. 17. This protein is localized at the juxtaparanodes of myelinated axons and associated with potassium channels. 18. White matter is composed mainly of myelinated axons, and takes its color from the myelin. 19. Men have more white matter than females both in volume and in length of myelinated axons. 20. These tracts contain more than 1 million axons and the majority of the axons are myelinated .
