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 are the colors of your nervous system?
Nervous tissue does not have a specific color as it is made up of cells, fibers, and blood vessels. However, nerve tissue can appear white due to the myelin sheath that surrounds certain nerve fibers.
What is the gap called that separates the myelin sheaths?
The gap between myelin sheaths is called the node of Ranvier. These nodes are important for enhancing the speed of nerve impulse transmission along the axon by allowing action potentials to "jump" between them in a process known as saltatory conduction.
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 increases the speed of the transmission?

What increases the speed of impulse transmission?
Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath
What are schwann cell nucleus'?

What is myelin sheath on nerve fibers?
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.
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 is the patchy disappearance in multiple sclerosis?
the Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath Your welcome I had to look for it
What creates myelin sheath?
Oligodendrocytes are specialized neurolgical cells that produce myelin sheath.
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.
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 would happen if the neuron did not have a myelin sheath?
if neurons didn't have myelin sheath then the transmission of nerve impulses is slowed or stopped
The layer of lipid around an axon is called?
The layer of lipid around an axon is called myelin sheath. It acts as an insulator, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses along the axon.
