Is the outermost sheath of a hair the connective tissue root sheath?
yes
What is myelin sheath on nerve fibers?
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.
What is the fibrous covering or nerve sheath which aids in fiber regeneration?
myelin sheath.
What is the name of covering of axon?
Because this is tissue from the brain (CNS), it is an oligodendrocyte which wraps around axons of neurons in the CNS to form a fatty myelin sheath. If it were PNS axons in say spinal or cranial nerves, the answer would be be Schwann cells.
Is myelin sheath a fatty substance?
yes, it is a fatty substance
what is the covering of a fatty material that speeds up the passage of a nerve impulse?
The fatty tissue is called the myelin sheath (or just myelin), the part of the neurone it covers is the axon.
What is the fatty substance that speeds up transmission of impulses and surrounds the axon of a neuron?
The fatty tissue surrounding the axon of a neuron is called myelin.
In a typical neuron sheaths of fatty tissue are called?
In a typical neuron, sheaths of fatty tissue are called the Myelin sheath. The myelin sheath surrounds parts of the axon of a nerve cell which speeds up neurotransmitters.
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.
Where are nodes of ranvier found?
In the fatty myelin sheath there are gaps between the axons. The myelin sheath gaps are referred to as the nodes of Ranvier.
how does white matter get its name?
it contains myelin sheath which is a fatty white substance
What part of a neuron is often encased by a fatty myelin sheath?
It is located on the axon
What cell is insulated by a fatty layer?
The cell that is insulated by a fatty layer is the myelin sheath. It is the fatty insulator around the neurons (nerve).
What is the fatty tissue that helps the impulse move faster as they travel from cell to cell?
The Myelin sheath
What is axonal substance called?
Myelin is a fatty sheath around axons found in the peripheral nervous system.
What is neuroglial cells that form the fatty myelin sheath on the neurons of the brain and spinal cord called?
Schwann cells (PNS)
