What insulates nerve fibers?
Myelin sheaths insulate nerve fibers
What is the purpose of myelin sheath?
This is a process that occurs in the CNS and PNS with axons. In the CNS oligodendrocytes surround the axons and in PNS schwann cells surround the axons. the myelin sheath will increase the speed of nervous conduction along the axon.
What is the definition of myelin sheath?
A myelin sheath is a layer of myelin (a dielectric, or electric insulator) around the axon of a neuron.
It insulates the axon of the neuron?
An insulating layer that surrounds the axon is a myelin sheath.
What increases the speed of the transmission?
Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath
What are schwann cell nucleus'?

What increases the speed of impulse transmission?

How does nicotine affect the myelin production?
Nicotine stimulates CREB phosphorylation which regulates the expression of myelin basic protein and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein.
Where is there an elevated level of myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid?
I think your confused. The fact is that there is an elevated level of myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid. This is common to people how have multiple sclerosis. I think the real question is :WHY is there an elevated level of myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid hope this helps:)
What is the fatty tissue that covers axons and speeds up impulses as they travel from cell to cell?
That substance is called the myelin cell or myelin sheath.
The layer of lipid around an axon is called?
Myelin sheath
What is myelin sheath on nerve fibers?
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.
