A multilayered, squamous-celled epithelial cell membrane covering the individual nerve fasciculi of the entire peripheral nervous system ( both voluntary and autonomic) including the sensory and motor end organs has been demonstrated in various species of animals, including man. This membrane is the direct continuation of the pia-arachnoid mater from the central nervous system. Functional significance of this membrane, especially as a diffusion barrier and as a protector of the peripheral nervous system, is briefly discussed.
在包括人类在内的各种动物中，都已证实存在一种多层鳞状上皮细胞膜，它覆盖着整个周围神经系统（包括躯体神经和自主神经）的各个神经束，包括感觉和运动终末器官。这种膜是软脑膜 - 蛛网膜从中枢神经系统的直接延续。本文简要讨论了这种膜的功能意义，特别是作为扩散屏障和周围神经系统保护者的功能意义。
