What is the function of myelin?
Myelin is the material that covers the spinal cord. It protects the cord from damage. If the myelin wears away, then a person is said to have Multiple Sclerosis.
How does the presence of myelin help axons work?
Myelin makes it easier for acons to transmit signals- it speeds there work.
The main component of the myelin sheath is?
Myelin is composed of about 80% lipid and about 20% protein. Some of the proteins that make up myelin are myelin basic protein (MBP),myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), and proteolipid protein (PLP). Myelin is made up primarily of a glycolipid calledgalactocerebroside. The intertwining of the hydrocarbon chains of sphingomyelin serve to strengthen the myelin sheath.There are quite a few disease (multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, transverse myelitis..) involved in the destruction of the axon myelin sheath also known as myelin sheath.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelin

Describe the role of the myelin sheath?
Myelin sheath is the insulation of the CNS (central nervous system). Its helps electrical signals move along nerves. Basically, its synonymous with insulated wire. Again the insulation help the signal move in a smooth and controlled fashion through out the body.
What does it mean to have a myelinated nerve fiber layer on your eye?
Having a myelinated nerve fiber layer in the eye means that the nerve fibers in that area are covered by a protective sheath called myelin. This condition can affect vision by causing shadows or patches in the visual field due to the abnormal reflection of light by the myelin. It is typically a benign condition but can rarely be associated with other eye problems.
What insulates nerve fibers?
Myelin insulation insulates nerve fibers by wrapping around them and forming a protective sheath. This myelin sheath helps to increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction along the nerve fibers.
What is the definition of myelin sheath?
A myelin sheath is a layer of myelin (a dielectric, or electric insulator) around the axon of a neuron.

How does nicotine affect the myelin production?
Nicotine stimulates CREB phosphorylation which regulates the expression of myelin basic protein and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein.
What disease strips myelin from nerves?
the disease that strips myelin from nerves is meningitis
What is myelin sheath on nerve fibers?
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.
What is the function of myelin?
Myelin is the material that covers the spinal cord. It protects the cord from damage. If the myelin wears away, then a person is said to have Multiple Sclerosis.
What is myelin rich in?
Myelin is the material that surrounds and protects the spinal cord, and it helps conduct information signals up and down the cord. Myelin is rich in protein.
