The cellular component assembly that is part of the initial shaping of the component during its developmental progression. The developmental process pertaining to the initial formation of an anatomical structure from unspecified parts. This process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure and ends when the structural rudiment is recognizable. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. Formation of the junction between an axon and the glial cell that forms the myelin sheath. Paranodal junctions form at each paranode, i.e. at the ends of the unmyelinated nodes of Ranvier. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a cellular component. The process by which myelin sheaths are formed and maintained around neurons. Oligodendrocytes in the brain and spinal cord and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system wrap axons with compact layers of their plasma membrane. Adjacent myelin segments are separated by a non-myelinated stretch of axon called a node of Ranvier. The process by which the wraps of cell membrane that constitute myelin are laid down around an axon by an oligodendrocyte in the peripheral nervous system. The process by which cellular structures, including whole cells or cell parts, are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the wraps of cell membrane that constitute myelin are laid down around an axon by an oligodendrocyte in the central nervous system. Any process by which the axon of a neuron is insulated, and that insulation maintained, thereby preventing dispersion of the electrical signal. The process by which the wraps of cell membrane that constitute myelin are laid down around an axon in the central or peripheral nervous system.
