Which tissue is reinforced by white fibers only?
Myelinated axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
What connective tissue cover myelinated or unmyelinated axons?
The connective tissue that covers unmyelinated and myelinated axons is called endoneurium.
Which type of cell produces the myelin covering around the axon of a neuron?
In the central nervous system, neuronal axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes. In the peripheral nervous system axons are myelinated by Schwann cells.
What tissue carries messages through your bodies?
nevous tissue
What tissue has the ability to react to stimuli?
nervous tissue
Which tissue is reinforced by white fibers only?
Myelinated axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
What is a disadvantage of unmyelinated nervous tissue when compared to myelinated tissue?
Unmyelinated tissue is substantially slower in conducting impulses along the axon. With myelinated axons, the action potential (impulse) jumps from node to node greatly increasing the speed of the impulse.
What connective tissue cover myelinated or unmyelinated axons?
The connective tissue that covers unmyelinated and myelinated axons is called endoneurium.
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.
Which type of cell produces the myelin covering around the axon of a neuron?
In the central nervous system, neuronal axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes. In the peripheral nervous system axons are myelinated by Schwann cells.
Is white matter dense in myelinated axons?
Yes White matter is the part of the nervous system that is dense is myelinated axons
What tissue carries messages through your bodies?
nevous tissue
What tissue has the ability to react to stimuli?
nervous tissue
Tissue that forms nerves and the brain?
Nervous (nerve) tissue.
What type of nervous system conduction occurs in myelinated axons?
Saltatory Conduction
What system does White matter refer to myelinated fibers?
central nervous system (CNS)
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.
