Term Information

Accession: GO:0022011
Name: myelination in peripheral nervous system
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: peripheral nervous system myelination
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The process in which neuronal axons and dendrites become coated with a segmented lipid-rich sheath (myelin) to enable faster and more energetically efficient conduction of electrical impulses. The sheath is formed by the cell membranes of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Adjacent myelin segments are separated by a non-myelinated stretch of axon called a node of Ranvier.
