What type of cells produce the myelin sheath in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells both produce myelin. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the CNS, whereas Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS. CNS refers to central nervous system PNS refers to peripheral nervous system
The myelin sheath that covers many CNS axons is formed by?
Oligodendrocytes
What cells make up the mylin sheath?
There are two cells that are involved in the myelin sheath. One type is found in the central nervous system (CNS) and the other is in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).These are the oligodendrocytes (CNS) and Schwann cells (PNS).
What type of neuroglia forms the myelin sheath?
oligodendrocytes for C.N.S. and shcwann cells for P.N.S.
Are axons most located and protected within the CNS?
axons
What type of cells produce the myelin sheath in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells both produce myelin. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the CNS, whereas Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS. CNS refers to central nervous system PNS refers to peripheral nervous system
Which type of glial cells produces the myelin sheaths that insulate axons or nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS)?
myelin sheath
What disease is characterized by an autoimmune attack on myelin in the CNS?
it is multiple sclerosis
What makes myelin in the CNS and PNS?
CNS: oligodendrocytes make the myelin, they cooperate in the formation of a myelin sheath along the axon, this is the process of myelination. Each oligodendrocyte produces segments of several axons.PNS: schwann cells make the myelin, each schwann cell can myelinate one segment of a single axon and they work together ot form the myelin sheath.
What is the purpose of myelin sheath?
This is a process that occurs in the CNS and PNS with axons. In the CNS oligodendrocytes surround the axons and in PNS schwann cells surround the axons. the myelin sheath will increase the speed of nervous conduction along the axon.
The myelin sheath that covers many CNS axons is formed by?
Oligodendrocytes
What neurological disease gradually destroys the myelin sheaths of neurons in the CNS?
Multiple Sclerosis
How are nerve cells ensheathed with myelin in the CNS and the PNS?
In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which wrap their extensions around the axons of nerve cells. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), myelin is produced by Schwann cells, which wrap around the axons in a spiral fashion. Myelin sheaths in both systems help to insulate and speed up the transmission of nerve impulses.
What cells make up the mylin sheath?
There are two cells that are involved in the myelin sheath. One type is found in the central nervous system (CNS) and the other is in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).These are the oligodendrocytes (CNS) and Schwann cells (PNS).
What is the medical term meaning hardening and degeneration of the myelin sheath?
Muscular sclerosis is hardening and degeneration of the myelin sheath. Muscular sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is a disorder marked by destruction of the myelin sheath on neurons in the CNS and replacement with hard scar tissue.
What type of neuroglia forms the myelin sheath?
oligodendrocytes for C.N.S. and shcwann cells for P.N.S.
How are nerve cells ensheathed in the cns?
The nerve cells are ensheathed in the cns by myelin which is a dielectric material. The myelin layer extends only upto the axon of a neuron. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system.
