Glial cells
Lipids store energy, form the membranes around our cells, and insulate our body.
adipose are fat cells that insulate our body.
This insulation acts to increase the rate of transmission of signals. The Myelin Sheath of a neuron consists of fat-containing cells that insulate the axon from electrical activity.
myelin sheath
there is no prefix of insulate because the root word is insulate
Glia cells, specifically microglia and astrocytes, remove dead neurons and waste products from the nervous system. Astrocytes also provide nourishment to neurons and insulate them. Additionally, oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells guide the growth of neurons by forming myelin sheaths around axons.
Neuroglia, or glial cells, support, insulate, and protect neurons in the nervous system. Unlike neurons, which are responsible for transmitting signals, neuroglia provide structural support, maintain homeostasis, and facilitate communication between neurons. They also form myelin sheaths that insulate axons, enhancing the speed of electrical impulses. Thus, neuroglia play a crucial role in maintaining the overall health and function of the nervous system.
Except for a few billion molecules used to "insulate" nerve cells, they just make you fat.
It doesn't insulate well.
I need to insulate the garage door before summer. Will you insulate him from the hecklers?
Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
