nervmembranet
Nervmembranet, a term used in some Scandinavian scientific literature, denotes the neural membrane: the lipid bilayer that encloses nerve cells and their processes and participates in their signaling. In current usage it refers to the integrated ensemble of neuronal and glial membranes that together form the functional boundary between the cytoplasm and the extracellular environment.
Structure: The neural membrane comprises the neuronal plasma membrane (axon, soma, and dendritic membranes) and the
Functions: The nervmembranet maintains ion gradients and resting potential via pumps such as Na+/K+ ATPase, enabling
Variations and specialized regions include nodes of Ranvier and the axon initial segment, where specific membrane
Clinical relevance is limited to descriptive anatomy and physiology; disruptions of neural membranes or their associated
