What is the specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons found in the peripheral nervous system?
The specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons in the peripheral nervous system are called Schwann cells. Schwann cells wrap around the axons of neurons to form the myelin sheath, which helps to insulate and protect the nerve fibers, allowing for faster and more efficient conduction of nerve impulses.
What relays impulses between the brain and the other body parts?
The nervous system relays impulses between the brain and other body parts through nerve cells called neurons. These neurons communicate through electrical signals that travel along nerve fibers to transmit information throughout the body.
The dorsal root of a spinal nerve contain what?
axons of sensory neurons
The branches out to form nerve fibers?
Nerve fibers form from the branching of nerve cells called neurons. These fibers transmit electrical impulses and allow communication between different parts of the nervous system. The intricate branching structure helps facilitate the rapid transmission of signals throughout the body.
Another name for a bundle of nerve fibers is what?
It is called a dendrite.~
A bundle of nerve fibers?
The bundle of the nerve fibers is a collection of the threadlike extension of the nerve cell that consists of the myelin sheath and axon in the nervous system. There are nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system.
Anterior root of the spinal cord is composed of?
The anterior root is composed of nerve fibers responsible for motor activity (i.e. efferent nerve fibers that will stimulate muscles, etc.). I think some of the things it is composed of include:Gamma motor neurons, alpha motor neurons, preganglionic autonomic neurons
Is Ganglia associated with afferent nerve fibers contain cell bodies of sensory neurons?
sensory
What is the specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons found in the peripheral nervous system?

Schwann cells wrap around the axons of neurons to form the myelin sheath, which helps to insulate and protect the nerve fibers, allowing for faster and more efficient conduction of nerve impulses.
What nerve do the preganglionic fibers travel through?
The preganglionic fibers of the autonomic nervous system travel through the cranial nerves (in the head) and the spinal nerves (in the rest of the body). They synapse with postganglionic neurons in autonomic ganglia before reaching their target organs.
What are neurofibrillary tangles?
Neurofibrillary tangles are twisted masses of protein fibers inside nerve cells, or neurons.
What relays impulses between the brain and the other body parts?
The nervous system relays impulses between the brain and other body parts through nerve cells called neurons. These neurons communicate through electrical signals that travel along nerve fibers to transmit information throughout the body.
The dorsal root of a spinal nerve contain what?
axons of sensory neurons
Impulses from the sense organs travel to the brain along what?
Impulses from the sense organs travel to the brain along nerve fibers known as sensory neurons. These neurons carry the signals to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted to create our perceptions and sensations.
Is the optic nerve a single nerve or a bunch of nerves connected?
It is a bundle of neurons, all flowing from the same general source (the eye) to the optic chiasm.
CAN reflex action controlled by spinal cord?
Simple reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord. The message travels from the sense receptors near the skin through the afferent nerve fibers to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, the messages are relayed through association neurons to the efferent nerve fibers, which carry them to the muscle cells that cause the reflex movement.
The branches out to form nerve fibers?
Nerve fibers form from the branching of nerve cells called neurons. These fibers transmit electrical impulses and allow communication between different parts of the nervous system. The intricate branching structure helps facilitate the rapid transmission of signals throughout the body.
