Trivia about nerves

  • 3 kinds of these are sensory, motor & mixed
  • Paul Weiss received a merit citation for his WWII work on repairing these signal-transmitting bundles in the body
  • Located in the skin & other tissues, pain receptors are the ends of these fiber bundles
  • In Guillain-Barre syndrome patients, these lose their myelin sheaths, so impulses slow down or stop
