What PNS neuroglia help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers in the PNS?
In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells are responsible for forming myelin sheaths around the larger nerve fibres in the PNS. Keep in mind that one Schwann cell myelinates one nerve. You may hear about oligodendrocytes, but these are responsible for myelination in the Central Nervous System, and myelinate multiple nerves.
Which neuroglial cell is responsible for the production of myelin sheaths around axons in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocyte; processes of the oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheaths around the CNS nerve fibers
Does myelin sheaths slow down nerve impluses?
No, myelin sheaths actually speed up nerve impulses by increasing the speed of signal transmission along the nerve fibers. This is due to the insulation effect of myelin, which helps to prevent signal loss or leakage.
What system does White matter refer to myelinated fibers?
White matter refers to the parts of the central nervous system that are primarily composed of myelinated nerve fibers. These fibers are responsible for transmitting information between different areas of the brain and spinal cord. White matter appears white because of the high lipid content of the myelin sheaths.
What are medullated and non- medullated nerve fibres?
Depending on the number of sheaths ,nerve fibres are of two types :-Myelinated (Medullated) Nerve Fibre.Nonmyelinated (NonMedullated) Nerve Fibre.Myelinated (Medullated) Nerve Fibre.:-are those nerve fibres which are covered by two sheaths ,myelin & neurolemma.Nonmyelinated (NonMedullated) Nerve Fibre.:-these nerve fibres are devoid of myelin sheath .However,neurolemma is present.

Is it becaue they are large with thick myelin sheaths?
Your question is not complete. There is not enough information. What are you referring to as "they". Some nerve fibers have thick myelin sheaths and some don't.
What insulates nerve fibers?
Myelin insulation insulates nerve fibers by wrapping around them and forming a protective sheath. This myelin sheath helps to increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction along the nerve fibers.
The connective tissue sheaths of skeletal muscle in order from internal to external are the?
Several sheaths of connective tissue hold the fibers of a skeletal muscle together. These sheaths from internal to external are the first layer is the endomysium (within the muscle), the second is a layer of fibrous connective tissue called perimysium (around the muscle) and the third is the epimysium , a name that means “outside the muscle.
What is the Sequence in connective tissue sheaths from outermost to innermost layer?
epineurium, perineurium, endoneuriumEpinerium, perineurium, endoneurium.
What is the covering of nerve fibers made up of living cells?
what is the portion of the brain containing control certer for body's functions and emotions: means "under the inner rool"
Does myelin sheaths slow down nerve impluses?
No, myelin sheaths actually speed up nerve impulses by increasing the speed of signal transmission along the nerve fibers. This is due to the insulation effect of myelin, which helps to prevent signal loss or leakage.
Which type of glial cells produces the myelin sheaths that insulate axons or nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS)?
myelin sheath
What structures would be most abundant in white matter?
In white matter, the most abundant structures are myelinated nerve fibers, which are composed of axons bundled together with their protective myelin sheaths. These nerve fibers facilitate rapid transmission of signals between different regions of the nervous system.
Which of these parts receive nerve impulses from the central nervous system causing muscle fibers to contract A Myelin sheaths B Motor neurons C Sensory neurons D Interneurons?
Motor neurone
What system does White matter refer to myelinated fibers?
White matter refers to the parts of the central nervous system that are primarily composed of myelinated nerve fibers. These fibers are responsible for transmitting information between different areas of the brain and spinal cord. White matter appears white because of the high lipid content of the myelin sheaths.
