What structure is responsible for myelination of the nerve fibers?
In the peripheral nervous system the cell that myelinates an axon is called a Schwann cell. In the central nervous system myelination is carried out by oligodendrocytes.
What PNS neuroglia help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers in the PNS?
In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells are responsible for forming myelin sheaths around the larger nerve fibres in the PNS. Keep in mind that one Schwann cell myelinates one nerve. You may hear about oligodendrocytes, but these are responsible for myelination in the Central Nervous System, and myelinate multiple nerves.
Repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system?
How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? We can help our nervous systems by improving our reflexes
Which of the following PNS neuroglia help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers in the PNS?
Schwann Cell
The insulating material produced by Schwann cells is known as what?
The insulating material produced by Schwann cells is known as myelin. Myelin forms a protective covering around nerve fibers, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses. This insulation is critical for proper functioning of the nervous system.
What structure is responsible for myelination of the nerve fibers?
In the peripheral nervous system the cell that myelinates an axon is called a Schwann cell. In the central nervous system myelination is carried out by oligodendrocytes.
Is myelination of the nerve fibers in the Central Nervous System the job of the oligodendrocyte?
True
Does the the autonomic nervous system typically have thin fibers with little or no myelination?
yes.
What PNS neuroglia help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers in the PNS?

What is the specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons found in the peripheral nervous system?
Schwann Cells
Which type of glial cells produces the myelin sheaths that insulate axons or nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS)?
myelin sheath
Specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons found in the pns?
Peripheral Nervous System= Oligodendrites Central Nervous System= Schwaan Cells Oligodendrites myelinate 250 times faster than Schwaan cells

How are nerves formed?
Nerves are formed in a late stage of development, when some of the cells composing the nerve cord and the brain send out long fibers bound together in bundles (nerves).
What are nerves and muscle fibers?
A nerve fiber is a threadlike extension of a nerve cell and consists of an axon andmyelin sheath (if present) in the nervous system. There are nerve fibers in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. A nerve fiber may be myelinated and/or unmyelinated. In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin is produced byoligodendroglia cells. Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Schwann cells can also make a thin covering for an axon which does not consist of myelin (in the PNS). A peripheral nerve fiber consists of an axon, myelin sheath, Schwann cells and its endoneurium. There are no endoneurium and Schwann cells in the central nervous system. A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell or muscle fiber) [1] is the type of cell found inmuscle tissue. They are long, tubular cells that arise developmentally from myoblasts to form muscles in a process known as myogenesis. [2] There are various specialized forms of myocytes: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells, with various properties. Cardiac myocytes are responsible for generating the electrical impulses that control the heart rate, among other things
What are specialization cell that myelinate the fibers of neurons found in the PNS What What In The Butt Butt?
schwann cells
White matter of the nervous system is composed of?
White matter in the nervous system is caused when the axons in the area are myelinated. This means that the axons have a fatty protein covering to provide insulation. The myelin sheath is composed of special cells calls Schwann Cells.
