Nerve cells are covered with connective tissue. So that current does not flow from one cell to other by short circuit. This is very important for the integrity of the nervous system. This is just like insulation of electric wires. So if the wires are not insulated you will get the gadgets short circuited.

What facilitates the rate of myelination?
Childhood experiences affect the rate of myelination in a child's brain. Myelination is the development of fatty sheaths around neurons, which help neurons communicate better and facilitates learning.
In what part of the brain does myelination occur last?
forebrain
What does gray matter lack that white matter has?
Myelination
What structure is responsible for myelination of the nerve fibers?
In the peripheral nervous system the cell that myelinates an axon is called a Schwann cell. In the central nervous system myelination is carried out by oligodendrocytes.
How long does full myelination take?
Full myelination of the central nervous system typically occurs by early adulthood. However, the process can vary depending on the specific region of the brain and individual factors.
A process called myelination increases how fast you process information?
True
Is myelination of the nerve fibers in the Central Nervous System the job of the oligodendrocyte?
True
Does the the autonomic nervous system typically have thin fibers with little or no myelination?
yes.
Which two characteristics of axons increases the speed of nerve impulse?
diameter and presence of myelination.....
What are oligodendrocytes responsible for?
myelination of the axons and the dendrites are responsible for connection between the cell body and myelin
What does terminal zones of myelination result on mri in an adult indicate?
Terminal zones of myelination on an MRI in an adult typically indicate normal developmental myelination pattern seen in the brain. These are areas where myelin tracks end, resulting in a "tramline" appearance on imaging. It is a common finding in adults and does not usually indicate any pathology.
WHAT IS the process of myelination and lateralization and their effects on development during this period?
The period in question is pertaining to a child's play years. Myelination is a condition in which myelin forms around nerve cells allowing difficult thought processes to be transmitted. It is especially important during the teen years. Lateralization refers to localizing of functions to the brain, as far as left and right. A child's intellectual direction during adolescence forms predominately through these two processes.
