What is non-myelinated nerve fiber?
a nerve fiber that lacks the fatty myelin insulating sheath. Such fibers form the gray matter of the nervous system, as distinguished from the white matter of myelinated fibers. Also called nonmedullated nerve fiber.
What is the name for the insulation covering many neurons?
Myelin sheath. This is the insulating sheath which covers most of the axon, between the Axon Hillock and Collateral branches of the Neuron.
What protects and insulates nerve fibers?
That is not the fatty 'material'. They are Glial cells derived from the mesoderm. The nerve cells are derived from ectoderm. The neural cells do not divide and so cancer do not arise from them. The malignancy in brain usually arise from these glial cells.
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.
What type of matter is the corpus callosum made of?
The middle of the brain, connecting the right side to the left side.
what is the covering of a fatty material that speeds up the passage of a nerve impulse?
The covering of a fatty material that speeds up the passage of a nerve impulse is called the myelin sheath. It is made of lipids and proteins and acts as an insulating layer around the axon of a neuron, allowing for faster transmission of electrical signals.
What is the fatty substance that speeds up transmission of impulses and surrounds the axon of a neuron?
The fatty substance that surrounds the axon of a neuron and speeds up the transmission of impulses is called myelin. Myelin acts as an insulating layer that helps to maintain the electrical signal within the neuron, allowing for faster and more efficient communication between cells.
What causes the symptoms of transverse myelitis?
The symptoms of transverse myelitis are due to damage and/or destruction of the myelin sheath, the fatty white covering of nerve fibers that serves both to insulate the nerve fibers and to speed nervous conduction along them.
What is metachromatic leukodystrophy?
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare degenerative neurological disease affecting the fatty covering that acts as an insulator around nerve fibers known as the myelin sheath.
What is non-myelinated nerve fiber?
a nerve fiber that lacks the fatty myelin insulating sheath. Such fibers form the gray matter of the nervous system, as distinguished from the white matter of myelinated fibers. Also called nonmedullated nerve fiber.
What part of a neuron is often encased by a fatty myelin sheath?
It is located on the axon

What is the fatty material in a cyst?
the fatty material in cyst is simply juyst chickenfat that comes form the chicken bee hind!
In a typical neuron sheaths of fatty tissue are called?
In a typical neuron, sheaths of fatty tissue are called the Myelin sheath. The myelin sheath surrounds parts of the axon of a nerve cell which speeds up neurotransmitters.

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.
