What else can I help you with?
What are the fibers that enter and leave the sympathetic chain without synapsing form structures are called?
They are called splanchnic nerves. These nerves carry preganglionic fibers to the collateral ganglia where they synapse with postganglionic 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.
Describe the schwann cells form the myelin sheath?
Schwann cells are specialized cells in the peripheral nervous system that wrap around nerve fibers to form the myelin sheath. They provide insulation and support to the nerve fibers, which helps to speed up the conduction of nerve impulses. The myelin sheath is segmented, with small gaps called nodes of Ranvier that facilitate rapid transmission of nerve signals.
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.
What is the relationship between schwann cells and myelin?
Schwann cells are responsible for producing myelin in the peripheral nervous system. Myelin is a fatty substance that wraps around nerve fibers, providing insulation and speeding up the transmission of nerve impulses. Schwann cells wrap around individual nerve fibers to form the myelin sheath.
What are the fibers that enter and leave the sympathetic chain without synapsing form structures are called?
They are called splanchnic nerves. These nerves carry preganglionic fibers to the collateral ganglia where they synapse with postganglionic neurons.
What does a pelvic splanchnic nerve contains?
Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. In the Parasympathetic division, the preganglionic axons leave the ventral roots of the spinal cord and collectively form the pelvic splanchnic nerves.
What do you call collection of nerve fibers in the brain longitudinal in form?
The collection of nerve fibers in the brain that are longitudinal in form is called a "fasciculus." Fasciculi are bundles of nerve fibers that travel together and share a common function or destination within the brain.
What is sacral outflow?
Sacral outflow refers to the nerve fibers that originate from the sacral region of the spinal cord. These nerve fibers innervate various structures in the pelvis, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. They are responsible for controlling the functions of these organs, such as emptying the bladder and contracting the muscles of the uterus during childbirth.
Do the sympathetic fibers leave the CNS at the thoracolumbar region?
Yes, sympathetic fibers leave the central nervous system at the thoracolumbar region, specifically from the intermediolateral cell column of the spinal cord. These fibers then form the sympathetic trunk and travel to the target organs to regulate the body's fight-or-flight response.
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.
Does a nerve provided impulses for many muscle fibers or just few?
A nerve can stimulate impulses to several muscle fibers. When muscle fibers are grouped they form a single muscle group like the biceps.
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.
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.
What connect muscle fibers and nerve fibers?
they work together because the molecules in the blood form a whole and that whole leads them to work together
Does the second cranial nerve form a chiasma at the base of the brain for partial crossover of neural fibers?
True
The ganglia are tied to one another by nerve fibers to form a complete circuit between all of them?
yes
