Peripheral Nerve: Longitudinal Section

Peripheral Nervous System

Coloring Image

Histological section of a peripheral nerve in longitudinal view stained with H&E. The image shows elongated axons surrounded by myelin sheaths, with gaps corresponding to nodes of Ranvier. Neurolemmocyte (Schwann cell) nuclei are visible along the fibers. The endoneurium, a delicate connective tissue layer, surrounds individual nerve fibers. The image illustrates the arrangement of axons, myelin, and supporting structures in a peripheral nerve.
