How does the presence of myelin help axons work?
Myelin makes it easier for acons to transmit signals- it speeds there work.
What colour is the white matter?
white... what makes it white? Myelin in the myelinated axon.
What makes myelin in the CNS and PNS?
CNS: oligodendrocytes make the myelin, they cooperate in the formation of a myelin sheath along the axon, this is the process of myelination. Each oligodendrocyte produces segments of several axons.PNS: schwann cells make the myelin, each schwann cell can myelinate one segment of a single axon and they work together ot form the myelin sheath.
What insulates nerve fibers?
Myelin sheaths insulate nerve fibers
What do myelin sheath membranes lack which makes them good insulators?
Channel and carrier proteins
Are muscles and glands myelinated?
Muscles and glands are not myelinated. It is the axon of a neuron that is myelinated. The myelin forms a layer called myelin sheath that makes the nervous system function properly.
Why is the myelin sheath so important to the nervous system?
Myelin is a fatty substance that insulates and protects nerve cells and allows them to transmit electrical signals quickly.
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'?
myelin sheath peace.love.faith
What increases the speed of impulse transmission?
Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath
