Are sensory olfactory neurons myelinated?

no


Do action potential transmission is faster in myelinated neurons?

TRUE. Neurons with myelin (or myelinated neurons) conduct impulses much faster than those without myelin.


Neurons which are wrapped in a fatty membrane are?

Neurons wrapped in a fatty membrane are called myelinated neurons. The fatty substance that wraps around the neuron is called myelin, and it helps to insulate and speed up the transmission of electrical impulses along the neuron's axon. Myelinated neurons are found in the central and peripheral nervous system.


White matter of brain composed?

myelinated axon of the neurons


What nueron conducts impulses faster?

Myelinated neurons conduct impulses faster than unmyelinated neurons.


What animals have non-myelinated neurons?

Hagfish, Lobsters and Crabs. As well as Mantis Shrimp.


What is a group of neurons with little to no myelin is known as?

A group of neurons with little to no myelin is known as unmyelinated neurons. These neurons transmit signals more slowly compared to myelinated neurons, which have a protective myelin sheath covering their axons.


Why are some neurones myelinated and others are not?

Myelination occurs in some neurons to increase the speed and efficiency of electrical signal transmission. Neurons that are myelinated are insulated by a fatty substance called myelin, which enhances the conduction of action potentials. In contrast, unmyelinated neurons may be slower in transmitting signals but can be found in areas where speed is less critical or space is limited.


What is impulse conduction is fastest in neurons?

Impulses that travel along myelinated neurons are the fastest.


7 What are the evolutionary advantages achieved by the myelination of neurons?

Attack and escape. Myelinated neurons allow faster reflexes increasing chance of survival, which allows you to pass your genes on to your offspring.


How do you create myelenated neurons?

You don't, but glial cells, (oligodendrocytes in the CNS, and Schwann cells in the PNS), wrapped one after another around the axons of neurons with gaps between them called the nodes of Ravnier do create myelinated neurons.


Sensory neurons of the PNS are?

Unipolar Sensory Neurons: large myelinated neurons with the cell body off to one side of the single dendritic-axon process. Multipolar Motor Neurons: large myelinated neurons that have many dendrites off the cell body and an axon that may branch to effect many effectors.
