What else can I help you with?
Why is there fat coating around the dendrites and axons?
The myelin sheath, which is the fatty coating surrounding dendrites and axons, helps to insulate and protect these structures. It speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses down the axon during neural communication, allowing for efficient signaling in the nervous system.
Axons and Dendrites are part of what kind of cell?
Neurons, of the nervous system. The dendrites receive impulses, and the axons send them to another neuron or an effector cell.
These cover the axonin order to make nerve signals faster?
Some axons have an insulating coating, called the fatty myelin sheath, to make signals travel faster.
What kind of a outer coating does a bird have?
Feathers
What causes CMT?
Type your answer here... It cause's defects in the genes for proteins found in axons, fibers that carry electrical signals between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body, or in the genes for proteins found in myelin, a coating on axons that insulates and nourishes them. Its onset is birth to adulthood, depending on form.
Why is there a fatty coating around the neuron?
The myelin sheath around nerve tracts insulate and protect the nerve from too much stimulation and it also makes the electrical current, that is used to feel and move, move faster through the body. People who lack the myelin sheath have serious and life threatening problems because their bodies do not move when it is supposed to, one common disorder of demyelination is multiple sclerosis.
Can I get some kind of waterproof coating on my couches in case of spills?
You should use scotchguard waterproof coating on your sofas to protect it from spills.
How do the conduction velocities of unmyelinated axons compare to myelinated axons?
Unmyelinated axons have slower conduction velocities compared to myelinated axons. Myelinated axons are able to conduct nerve impulses faster due to the insulation provided by the myelin sheath.
Do axons send or receive signals?
Axons send signals.
What axons do nerves contain?
Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
The axons of the retina culminate in what nerve?
the axons of the retina culminate in the optic nerve which forms a blind spot on the retina
Does a neuron have a coating?
Sometimes, depending on the type and function of the neuron, and when it does, it will be on the AXON of the neuron, not the whole neuron. The AXONS of grey matter in the brain do NOT have a coating, but white matter in the brain DOES, as do longer axons in the peripheral nervous system. The Myelin Sheath which coats white matter in the brain is made up of glial cells called oligodendrocytes, and the myelin sheath around peripheral nerve cells are called Schwann cells.
