Termination of a Medullated Nerve Fiber

A termination of a medullated nerve fiber in tendon, lower half with convoluted medullated nerve fiber.

Axons terminate peripherally in various ways and may be most conveniently studied in the efferent and afferent systems. The peripheral termination of afferent neurons are better called peripheral nerve beginnings, on account of their functional relations; the impulse is excited in the peripheral end and conducted centrad through the rest of the neuron. The figures are showing some varieties of peripheral termination of afferent neurons ( or "peripheral nerve beginnings"): A, Terminal fibrillae in epithelium. B, Tactile corpuscles. C, Bulboid corpuscle. D, Lamellated corpuscle. Labels: a, axon; t, telodendria.
