What else can I help you with?
Which tissue is reinforced by white fibers only?
Myelinated axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
A group of myelinated fiber may form a region of nerve tissue called?
A group of myelinated fibers may form a region of nerve tissue called a white matter tract. White matter in the central nervous system consists of myelinated nerve fibers that transmit information between different parts of the brain and spinal cord.
What tissue has the ability to react to stimuli?
nervous tissue
Which type of cell produces the myelin covering around the axon of a neuron?
In the central nervous system, neuronal axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes. In the peripheral nervous system axons are myelinated by Schwann cells.
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 is a disadvantage of unmyelinated nervous tissue when compared to myelinated tissue?
Unmyelinated tissue is substantially slower in conducting impulses along the axon. With myelinated axons, the action potential (impulse) jumps from node to node greatly increasing the speed of the impulse.
Which tissue is reinforced by white fibers only?
Myelinated axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
A group of myelinated fiber may form a region of nerve tissue called?
A group of myelinated fibers may form a region of nerve tissue called a white matter tract. White matter in the central nervous system consists of myelinated nerve fibers that transmit information between different parts of the brain and spinal cord.
Are muscles and glands myelinated?
Muscles and glands are not myelinated. It is the axon of a neuron that is myelinated. The myelin forms a layer called myelin sheath that makes the nervous system function properly.
What tissue has the ability to react to stimuli?
nervous tissue
Tissue that forms nerves and the brain?
Nervous (nerve) tissue.
What type of nervous system conduction occurs in myelinated axons?
Saltatory Conduction
Which type of cell produces the myelin covering around the axon of a neuron?
In the central nervous system, neuronal axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes. In the peripheral nervous system axons are myelinated by Schwann cells.
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.
What does the Nervous tissuedo?
What does the nervous tissue do
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 tissue uses electrochemical signals to carry out its function?
nervous tissue
