A histological study analysed the axon-myelin relationships in human inferior alveolar nerve fibres in both transverse and longitudinal sections. Observations on fibres cut in transverse section showed variation in myelin thickness upon axons having approximately the same diameter. Large diameter axons had relatively thinner myelin sheaths than small-diameter axons. A longitudinal reconstruction of a 470 micron length of fibre demonstrated the presence of 13 Schmidt-Lantermann clefts. The surgical and clinical implications of these finding are discussed.
一项组织学研究分析了人类下牙槽神经纤维在横切面和纵切面中的轴突与髓鞘的关系。对横切纤维的观察显示，在轴突直径大致相同的情况下，髓鞘厚度存在差异。大直径轴突的髓鞘相对较薄，而小直径轴突的髓鞘相对较厚。对一段470微米长的纤维进行纵向重建显示存在13个施密特-兰特尔曼切迹。文中讨论了这些发现的手术和临床意义。
