What else can I help you with?
Where are myelin sheaths located?
Myelin sheaths are located around the nerve cells. In central as well as peripheral nervous system.
Which neuroglial cell is responsible for the production of myelin sheaths around axons in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocyte; processes of the oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheaths around the CNS nerve fibers
Does oligodendrocytes serve the same purpose in the central nervous and periphial nervous system?
No, they form myelin sheaths on axons in the CNS while schwann cells form myelin sheaths in the PNS. Hope this answers your question.
What are progressive destruction of myelin sheaths in the central nervous system is called?
MS
Why multiplesclerosis doesn't affect peripheral nervous system eventhough they also have myelin?
The interaction of the destruction of the myelin sheaths and remyelination is not yet fully understood. The lesions and scarring of the nerve tissue seem to mainly occur in the CNS, with the autoimmune process largely ignoring the peripheral nervous system.
Formed by schwann cells in the PNS?
Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system form myelin sheaths around axons, which helps to speed up the transmission of nerve impulses. These myelin sheaths act as insulating layers that ensure efficient communication between neurons.
What cell main function is to provide insulation and structure for neurons?
The main function of glial cells, specifically oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, is to provide insulation to neurons through the formation of myelin sheaths. These myelin sheaths wrap around the axons of neurons, which helps to increase the speed and efficiency of electrical signal conduction along the neuron.
Which type of glial cells produces the myelin sheaths that insulate axons or nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS)?
myelin sheath
How do nerve axons enhance speed of nerve impulse transmission?
By being wrapped in myelin sheaths, produced by Schawann cells in the peripheral nervous system and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system.
Is it becaue they are large with thick myelin sheaths?
Your question is not complete. There is not enough information. What are you referring to as "they". Some nerve fibers have thick myelin sheaths and some don't.
How do you spell adrenoleukodystrophy?
That is the correct spelling of "adrenoleukodystrophy" (also called Siemerling-Creutzfeldt Disease and adrenomyeloneuropathy) a disorder affecting myelin sheaths in the nervous system.
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.
