What else can I help you with?
Are unmyelinated axons in the cerebral cortex?
Yes, unmyelinated axons are present in the cerebral cortex. While many neurons in the cerebral cortex have myelinated axons, some interneurons and shorter local circuit neurons have unmyelinated axons. These unmyelinated axons play a role in the local processing and communication within the cortex.
What connective tissue cover myelinated or unmyelinated axons?
Axons are covered by connective tissue called endoneurium. Multiple axons are bundled together within fascicles, which are surrounded by perineurium. Finally, the entire nerve is enveloped by epineurium.
Which tissue is reinforced by white fibers only?
Myelinated axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Does saltatory conduction only occur in CNS?
Saltory conduction only occurs in the myelinated axons.
The most rapid action potentials are conducted on?
The most rapid action potentials are conducted on myelinated axons, specifically those with a larger diameter. Myelination and a larger diameter help to increase the speed of conduction by decreasing capacitance and resistance.
How do the conduction velocities of unmyelinated axons compare to myelinated axons?
Unmyelinated axons have slower conduction velocities compared to myelinated axons. Myelinated axons are able to conduct nerve impulses faster due to the insulation provided by the myelin sheath.
Are unmyelinated axons in the cerebral cortex?
Yes, unmyelinated axons are present in the cerebral cortex. While many neurons in the cerebral cortex have myelinated axons, some interneurons and shorter local circuit neurons have unmyelinated axons. These unmyelinated axons play a role in the local processing and communication within the cortex.
What is another name for Myelinated axons?
In preserved brains, the myelinated axons look white. Therefore, what we call "white matter" is typically made of axons.
Are all the gated calcium channels concentrated at the nodes of ranvier of myelinated axons?
no, most gated mandiable channels are concentrated at the nodes of ranvier of myelinated axons.
Myelinated neurons are embedded in what?
the axons of myelinated neurons are embeded in a protective covering of gray matter.
In myelinated axons where are the voltage gated sodium channels concentrated?
In myelinated axons, the voltage gated sodium ions are located along the nodes of Ranvier, the exposed places between the myelin segments. The gates here, however, are not particularly more concentrated than on other un-myelinated axons. TRUE
Is white matter dense in myelinated axons?
Yes, white matter is dense in myelinated axons. White matter in the brain and spinal cord is primarily composed of nerve fibers that are encased in myelin sheaths, which give it its white color. Myelination helps to speed up the transmission of nerve impulses along these axons.
White matter of the nervous system is composed of?
White matter in the nervous system is caused when the axons in the area are myelinated. This means that the axons have a fatty protein covering to provide insulation. The myelin sheath is composed of special cells calls Schwann Cells.
Myelinated regions of the CNS are referred to as?
White matter in the CNS is predominantly composed of myelinated axons.
What connective tissue cover myelinated or unmyelinated axons?
Axons are covered by connective tissue called endoneurium. Multiple axons are bundled together within fascicles, which are surrounded by perineurium. Finally, the entire nerve is enveloped by epineurium.
What are the most rapid action potentials conducted on?
thick myelinated axons
Gray matter in the spinal cord is mostly?
unmyelinated axons.
