| nerve sheath tumours | Tumours arising in the sheath surrounding the axon of some nerve cells and formed by the plasma membrane of schwann cells in the peripheral nervous sytem and by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system.

| Neumann's sheath | A layer of tissue relatively resistant to the action of acids, which forms the walls of the dentinal tubules. Synonym: Neumann's sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurovascular sheath | Fibrous tissue enveloping and binding together arteries, their accompanying veins (venae comitantes) and nerves which run together; often it is merely the adventitious tissue of the neurovascular structures, but may be highly developed as a distinct fascial layer (e.g., in the case of the carotid or axillary sheaths).

| Debye sheath | <radiobiology> The region of strong electric field in front of a material surface in contact with a plasma. Its characteristic thickness is the Debye length, and it is caused by Debye shielding of the negative surface charge resulting from electrons flowing to the surface much faster (initially) than the ions. The lost electrons leave behind a region of net positive charge which gradually diminishes the strength of the electric field over the Debye length. (13 Nov 1997) |
| dentinal sheath | A layer of tissue relatively resistant to the action of acids, which forms the walls of the dentinal tubules. Synonym: Neumann's sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synovial sheath | See: synovial tendon sheath, vagina synovialis trochleae, synovial sheaths of digits of hand, synovial sheaths of digits of foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synovial tendon sheath | A sheath of synovial membrane enveloping certain of the tendons; it contains a small amount of synovial fluid. Synonym: vagina synovialis tendinis, mucous sheath of tendon, theca tendinis, vagina mucosa tendinis, vaginal synovial membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
