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.
Can you give me an example of cytoskeleton?
The banana peel shape wraps around the banana and protects it as well as the box of a cutoskeleton wraps around the cell to protect it (I think).
Are axons most located and protected within the CNS?
axons
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.
Explain why the dorsal root ganglions are larger in diameter than the dorsal root?
Dorsal root ganglions are larger in diameter than the dorsal root itself because they have axons on them. Dorsal root ganglions are also called spinal ganglions.
What is fat and white and wraps around the fastest axons?
The Myelin sheath is fat and white and wraps around the fastest axons.
What wraps themselves around some axons forming what is known as white matter?
Schwann Cells wrap themselves around some axons forming white matter.

Why does increasing the axon diameter also increase the speed of impulse conduction?
Larger diameter axons conduct impulses more rapidly than axons with a smaller diameter. Larger axons tend to be myelinated and conduct impulses rapidly. Myelin is a substance rich in lipid that forms an electrical insulation layer around the axon. This insulating myelin sheath allows impulses to be transmitted more rapidly then small diameter axons that are nonmyelinated.
Why is there fat coating around the dendrites and axons?
The fat coating around the dendrites and axons is to insulate them.
What cells in the peripheral nervous system that form a covering around axons?
Schwann cells wrap around the AXONS of peripheral neurons.
What cells are responsible for the myelination of neurons in the cns?
In the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes make the myelin sheaths around axons via cytoplasmic extensions. In the peripheral nervous system. The Schwann cells perform the same function but the entire cell wraps around a portion of the axon.
What is knowing as white matter that wrap themselves around some axons?
Schwann cells are known as white matter that wrap themselves around some axons.
What is the DNA material within a cell that wraps around proteins called?
DNA wraps around proteins to form a prokaryotic cell.
What cell form the insulating shealth around axons?
Schwan cells
What wraps itself around India?
The Indian Ocean.
Who wraps Justin's bandaid around his figer?
his mommy
