it I a receptor so it gets a message then send that message to the CNS (central Nervous System)

The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds nerve fibers and helps in efficient transmission of nerve impulses. It acts as an insulator, speeding up the transmission of signals along the nerves. Damage to the myelin sheath can result in disruptions in nerve signal transmission and lead to conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

Do neurotransmitters form the myelin sheath?
No, not at all. The myelin sheaths are actually made by other living cells in the nervous system known as glia. Two types of glia myelinate the nervous system: oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. The oligodendrocytes for myelin in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system (everything outside the brain and spinal cord).
What happens if the myelin sheath is damaged?
If the myelin sheath is damaged, nerve signals may slow down or be disrupted, leading to problems with movement, sensation, and coordination. This can result in various neurological symptoms, such as weakness, numbness, and tingling. In severe cases, it can lead to conditions like multiple sclerosis.
What is the gap called that separates the myelin sheaths?
The gap that separates the mylene sheaths is the axon.
What is role expectations role performances?
Role expectations refer to the societal or cultural norms that dictate how individuals are expected to behave in a specific role. Role performance refers to how individuals actually behave and carry out their responsibilities in that role. In other words, role expectations set the standard, while role performance indicates how well individuals meet those expectations.
What is the functional role of the mirror neuron system?
The functional role of the mirror neuron system is in our ability to empathize and socialize with others.

It insulates the axon of the neuron?
An insulating layer that surrounds the axon is a myelin sheath.
What is myelin sheath on nerve fibers?
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.
The layer of lipid around an axon is called?

What is the definition of myelin sheath?
A myelin sheath is a layer of myelin (a dielectric, or electric insulator) around the axon of a neuron.
What creates myelin sheath?
Oligodendrocytes are specialized neurolgical cells that produce myelin sheath.
What is the patchy disappearance in multiple sclerosis?

What is the sheath of a schwann cell called?
myelin sheath
What creates the myelin sheath in the PNS?
Schwann cells make the myelin sheath in the PNS. Each of the Schwann cells myelinate their own segment of the axon, they work together to make the myelin sheath.
What insulates nerve fibers?
Myelin sheaths insulate nerve fibers
