What else can I help you with?
Which of the following PNS neuroglia help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers in the PNS?
The Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers. These cells wrap around the nerve fibers to provide insulation and support for faster nerve impulse conduction.
Which neuroglial cell is responsible for the production of myelin sheaths around axons in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocyte; processes of the oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheaths around the CNS nerve fibers
Is white matter composed of ganglial sheaths?
No, white matter is composed of myelinated axons that carry nerve signals between different parts of the brain and the spinal cord. Ganglial sheaths are part of the peripheral nervous system and surround cell bodies of neurons.
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.
Does myelin sheaths slow down nerve impluses?
No, myelin sheaths actually speed up nerve impulses by increasing the speed of signal transmission along the nerve fibers. This is due to the insulation effect of myelin, which helps to prevent signal loss or leakage.

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.
Where are myelin sheaths located?
Myelin sheaths are located around the nerve cells. In central as well as peripheral nervous system.

Oligodendrocyte; processes of the oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheaths around the CNS nerve fibers

Is the myelin sheath white?
Yes. You are right. White matter of brain is mainly composed of myelin sheaths, which surround the axons and gray matter is composed of nerve cell bodies.
Is it becaue they are large with thick myelin sheaths?
Your question is not complete. There is not enough information. What are you referring to as "they". Some nerve fibers have thick myelin sheaths and some don't.
Does myelin sheaths slow down nerve impluses?
No, myelin sheaths actually speed up nerve impulses by increasing the speed of signal transmission along the nerve fibers. This is due to the insulation effect of myelin, which helps to prevent signal loss or leakage.
What cranial nerve covers meninges?
The Optic Nerve (one of the Cranial Nerves) is enclosed by three sheaths that are continuous with the three layers of cranial meninges (dura, arachnoid, and pia). The central artery and vein of the retina pass through these meningeal sheaths and are included in the distal part of the optic nerve.
What type of neuralgia cell is found outside of the brain?
The type of neuralgia cell found outside of the brain is called Schwann cells. These cells are a type of glial cell located in the peripheral nervous system, where they support and insulate neurons by forming myelin sheaths around their axons. Schwann cells play a crucial role in nerve regeneration and the maintenance of peripheral nerve function.
What Nerve cell?
A nerve cell is the structural and functional unit of a nerve
