What are components of a nerve fiber?

A nerve fiber consists of the axon, which transmits nerve impulses, along with protective covering called myelin sheath, Schwann cells that produce myelin, and the endoneurium which surrounds individual nerve fibers.

What is the layer of meninges which attaches to the nerve tissue?

A nerve cell is actually called a neuron. It is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It can also be called a nerve fiber.


What is electrochemical process of depolarization and repolarization along a nerve fiber?

During depolarization, sodium ions rush into the nerve fiber, making the inside more positively charged. This triggers an action potential to be carried along the fiber. Repolarization occurs when potassium ions exit the cell, restoring the original negative charge inside the cell. This process allows the nerve fiber to transmit signals along its length.

What do you call the slender nerve fiber?

The slender nerve fiber is called an axon. It is the long, slender projection of a nerve cell that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.


Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?

The microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell is called an axon. Axons are long, slender projections of a nerve cell that transmit electrical signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. These signals, known as action potentials, travel down the axon through a process called depolarization and repolarization.

What is a long nerve fiber that convey electrical impulses to other cells is called a?

A long nerve fiber that conveys electrical impulses to other cells is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and are responsible for transmitting signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Some axons can be quite long, extending from the brain or spinal cord to distant parts of the body.
