White matter is composed of axons that are sheathed in what?
White matter is composed of axons that are sheathed in fatty myelin, which helps to insulate and protect the axons. The myelin sheath is produced by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.
Why is gravel inorganic?
It is composed of minerals which are largely not based on carbon.
Is a asteroid a bunch of rock?
Many of them are, yes. However, some asteroids are composed largely of iron.
The plasma membranes of all known cells are largely composed of what class of macromolecules?
The plasma membranes of cells are largely composed of lipids, specifically phospholipids. These phospholipids form a bilayer structure that provides a barrier for the cell, regulating the passage of molecules in and out of the cell.
What are schwann cell nucleus'?
myelin sheath peace.love.faith
Is the myelin sheath white?
Yes. You are right. White matter of brain is mainly composed of myelin sheaths, which surround the axons and gray matter is composed of nerve cell bodies.

The main component of the myelin sheath is?
Myelin is composed of about 80% lipid and about 20% protein. Some of the proteins that make up myelin are myelin basic protein (MBP),myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), and proteolipid protein (PLP). Myelin is made up primarily of a glycolipid calledgalactocerebroside. The intertwining of the hydrocarbon chains of sphingomyelin serve to strengthen the myelin sheath.There are quite a few disease (multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, transverse myelitis..) involved in the destruction of the axon myelin sheath also known as myelin sheath.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelin
What is a substance of Schwann cell composed of lipoprotein that insulates axons and increases impulse speed?
The substance is called myelin, and it is composed of lipoprotein layers that wrap around axons. Myelin insulation helps to increase the speed of neural impulses by allowing them to "jump" between nodes of Ranvier along the axon. This process is known as saltatory conduction.
What is mount Rushmore composed largely of?
Granite.
What iscomposed of lipid material and covers axons?
The myelin sheath is composed of lipid material and covers axons.
White matter is composed of axons that are sheathed in what?
White matter is composed of axons that are sheathed in fatty myelin, which helps to insulate and protect the axons. The myelin sheath is produced by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.
The multi-layered covering composed of lipid and protein that surrounds most of the axons of the human body?
myelin sheath
