What else can I help you with?
The schwann cell forms a Myelin Sheath around what part of the nerve?
The Schwann cell forms a myelin sheath around the axon of the nerve.
The sheath of Schwann is also called what?
The sheath of Schwann is also called the myelin sheath. It is a layer of fatty material that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses.
What do cell walls do in a nerve cell?
The myelin sheath protects the information passing from one side of the nerve cell to the other. It blocks out other signals that might interfere.
What does the nerve cell protective sheath do?
The nerve cell protective sheath, called myelin, insulates and protects the nerve cells. It helps in the speedy transmission of electrical signals along the nerve fibers. Damage to the myelin sheath can result in disruption of nerve signal transmission and lead to neurological problems.
What are the two coverings of a nerve cell?
One is the Myelin Sheath, the other I would assume is the Neurilemma.
What is required to maintain nerve fiber sheath?
required to maintain nerve fiber sheath
What holds the nerve cell together?
Nerve cells are held together by cell adhesion molecules, which are proteins that help anchor cells to each other and provide structural support. These molecules also play a role in cell signaling and communication between nerve cells. Additionally, nerve cells are surrounded by a protective sheath called the myelin sheath, which helps insulate the nerve cell and maintain its structure.
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 are the parts of nerve or neurons?
A neuron is a nerve cell, so it has all the parts of an animal cell, plus some specialized parts: axon, dendrites, and perhaps a myelin sheath for insulation.
What is the outermost covering of a nerve?
I'm not sure if I understand your question, but here goes nothing. The AXON of a NERVE CELL is wrapped in a MYELIN SHEATH
What is the insulating layer wrapped around nerve cells that increases the speed of nerve impulse transmission?
The myelin sheath. Due to its insulating properties, the myelin sheath prevents the movement of ions in nerve cells. Therefore nervous impulses will jump between the gaps in the myelin sheath (called the Nodes of Ranvier). This is a lot quicker than the conduction in non-myelinated nerve fibres which occurs by the movement of ions across each of the nerve cell membranes.
What is myelin sheath on nerve fibers?
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.
