In this study we give a geometrical model which employs the smoothness of nerve fibers as differentiable curves. We show that a nerve fiber may encounter large curvature due to the possible helicial bending and hence it could cause the fiber to buckle. However, its membrane structure provides a mechanism, entirely geometrical to avoid it. To overcome the challenge of emerging helix we project it into a plane.
