No, they form myelin sheaths on axons in the CNS while schwann cells form myelin sheaths in the PNS. Hope this answers your question.
Central nervous system stimulants are used to keep patients who suffer from narcolepsy from falling asleep. Narcolepsy is a disorder that causes people to fall asleep during daytime hours.
The purpose of a CSF analysis is to diagnose medical disorders that affect the central nervous system.
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.
Coordination.
- sodium is important for the nervous central system (transduction of signals) - sodium is important for the regulation of blood pressure, pH, osmotic pressure and volume - also useful for the function of neurons
The white lipid material that insulates the axon of a neuron is called myelin. In the central nervous system, myelin is created by oligodendrocytes while in the peripheral nervous system the myelin is created by Schwann cells. The purpose of myelin is to speed up action potentials. It's important to know that the myelin does not coat the axon entirely; each sheath of myelin is separated by a gap, called a node of Ranvier. These gaps are responsible for the quick transport of action potentials, due to the fact that the potentials can "jump" from node to node rather than having to travel down the entire length of the axon (this is called saltatory conduction).
Testing for reflexes is an important part of the neurological physical examination in order to detect abnormalities in the central or peripheral nervous system.
The main purpose of the nervous system is to let our body know when we are in danger by sending messages to the brain.
to get info
To get information from the environment.
The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. It's main purpose is to gather, store, and respond to information and stimuli.
