What does non myelinated fibers look like?
Non-myelinated fibers appear as thin, unmyelinated axons within bundles of nerve fibers. They lack the myelin sheath that surrounds some other nerve fibers, which gives them a more transparent or grayish appearance compared to myelinated fibers. Non-myelinated fibers are typically smaller in diameter and conduct nerve impulses more slowly than myelinated fibers.
What is non-myelinated nerve fiber?
a nerve fiber that lacks the fatty myelin insulating sheath. Such fibers form the gray matter of the nervous system, as distinguished from the white matter of myelinated fibers. Also called nonmedullated nerve fiber.
The funiculi all contain what?
The funiculi contain ascending and descending nerve fibers that transmit sensory and motor information between different levels of the central nervous system.
Difference between optic tract and optic nerve?
Bundles of neuron processes are called tracts in the cns and nerves in the pns
What substance slows the message passing from the brain to the rest of the body?
Unmyelinated nerve fibers are slower than myelinated nerve fibers. The fibers covered by myelin are much faster.
White matter of the spinal cord?
it is the substance surrounding the gray matter. It is also composed of myelinated nerve fibers and makes up nerve pathways called tracts.

Masses of myelinated nerve fibers appear?
white
The funiculi all contain what?
The funiculi contain ascending and descending nerve fibers that transmit sensory and motor information between different levels of the central nervous system.
What are the differences between myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers in terms of their conduction speed and efficiency?
Myelinated nerve fibers conduct electrical signals faster and more efficiently compared to unmyelinated nerve fibers. This is because the myelin sheath insulates and speeds up the transmission of signals along the nerve fibers.
Why do messages not get mixed up passing through the spinal cord?
There are ascending and descending tracts in the spinal cord. These tracts are nerve fibers bundled together. Messages going to the brain pass through the ascending tracts while messages coming from the brain pass through the descending tracts. These separate paths prevent messages from getting mixed up.
Which nerve fiber do impulses travel slowly?
Unmyelinated nerve fibers conduct impulses more slowly than myelinated nerve fibers. Myelinated nerve fibers have a fatty substance called myelin sheath that allows for faster transmission of impulses compared to unmyelinated fibers without this sheath.
What does white matter contain?
The white matter consist of myelinated nerve fibers.
Difference between optic tract and optic nerve?
Bundles of neuron processes are called tracts in the cns and nerves in the pns
What is the difference in transmission between myelinated and unmyelinated fibers?
Impulse transmission on an unmyelinated nerve fiber is much slower than the impulse transmission on a myelinated nerve fiber.
What substance slows the message passing from the brain to the rest of the body?
Unmyelinated nerve fibers are slower than myelinated nerve fibers. The fibers covered by myelin are much faster.
