What else can I help you with?
What is neuroglial cells that form the fatty myelin sheath on the neurons of the brain and spinal cord called?
Schwann cells (PNS)
Function of oligodendrocytes?
Form myelin in the brain and spinal cord....
Do neurotransmitters form the myelin sheath?
No, not at all. The myelin sheaths are actually made by other living cells in the nervous system known as glia. Two types of glia myelinate the nervous system: oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. The oligodendrocytes for myelin in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system (everything outside the brain and spinal cord).
What the neuralgia cells that form the mylin sheaths?
Schwann Cells make the myelin found in the (PNS) Peripheral Nervous System. It also helps speed up neurotransmissions. I hope this was helpful. for the central nervous system (brain & spinal cord) oligodendrocytes form the myelin.
Cells that form the lining of the cavities in the brain and spinal cord?
somatic cells
What do the brain and spinal cord collectively form in the central nervous system?
The brain and spinal cord collectively form the central nervous system.
Myelin is formed by?
there are specialized cells in the nervous system produce and form the myelin in the central nervous system (brain & spinal cord) by oligodendrocytes in the peripheral nervous system by schwann cells
What is the medical terminology combining form meaning bone marrow or spinal cord?
The medical terminology combining form for both bone marrow and spinal cord is myel/o, as in osteomyelitis or myelogram
What type of cells produce the myelin sheath in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells both produce myelin. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the CNS, whereas Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS. CNS refers to central nervous system PNS refers to peripheral nervous system
What does the schwann cell form a myelin sheath around?
Schwann cells form a myelin sheath around peripheral nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system.
White matter of the spinal cord contains?
The H-shaped grey matter of the spinal cord contains motor neurons that control movement, smaller interneurons that handle communication within and between the segments of the spinal cord, and cells that receive sensory signals and then send information up to centers in the brain.
Which spinal nerves do not form plexus?
The spinal nerves that originate from the thoracic portion of the spinal cord don't form plexuses. The word thoracic pertains to the thorax.
