medullated

First recorded in 1865–70; medull(a) + -ate ¹ + -ed ²

There is also an abundant plexus of fine medullated fibres within the granule layer.

They give off a number of short dendrites with claw-like endings, and a fine non-medullated neuraxon process.

Between the neurolemma and the axis cylinder is the medullated sheath, composed of a fatty substance known as myelin.

These sensations are carried by medullated nerve fibres, and are slow to return after injury to the nerves.
