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 system does White matter refer to myelinated fibers?
central nervous system (CNS)
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.
What has the author Alan Lloyd Hodgkin written?
Alan Lloyd Hodgkin has written: 'The conduction of the nervous impluse' -- subject(s): Nervous system 'The conduction of the nervous impulse' -- subject(s): Nervous system
Is white matter dense in myelinated axons?
Yes White matter is the part of the nervous system that is dense is myelinated axons
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.
Which type of tissue is specialized for conduction of impulses?
Nervous System
A signal conduction route to and from the central nervous system is a?
Reflex Arc
Difference between optic tract and optic nerve?
Bundles of neuron processes are called tracts in the cns and nerves in the pns
A pheochromocytoma occurs in the?
Pheochromocytoma occurs in the Nervous System and in the Adrenal Gland.
What has the author A L Hodgkin written?
A. L. Hodgkin has written: 'The conduction of the nervous impulse' -- subject(s): Nervous system
What is non-myelinated nerve fiber?
a nerve fiber that lacks the fatty myelin insulating sheath. Such fibers form the gray matter of the nervous system, as distinguished from the white matter of myelinated fibers. Also called nonmedullated nerve fiber.
