Two things, 1, the conduction speed of the neuron will be reduced. 2, the neuron will be subject to 'activation' from extraneous sources.

The role of the myelin sheath?
it I a receptor so it gets a message then send that message to the CNS (central Nervous System)
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 is the gap called that separates the myelin sheaths?
The gap that separates the mylene sheaths is the axon.
What is shock tactics in propaganda?
An example of "Fear" propaganda is a flood insurance company that has an advertisement with a family's house that got flooded and very damaged...this makes people fear things like "what if this happens to my house and family?!". It leads them to buy the flood insurance. Hope this helps!! Regards, Ryan S. :)
What happens when the corpus callosum is damaged?
It does not allow patients to match up concepts they see in one eye with concepts in the other half of the brain. example: If the corpus collosum structure gets damaged, a patient might have trouble with coordinating their hands, preventing them from matching sensations on one hand with movement on the other, because the information doesn't get to where it's needed.
What is the cause of MS?
The Myelin Sheath is damaged and allows ions to escape the axon
What does the sheath do in the nerve cell?
The myelin sheath acts as a covering on the axon of a neuron just as the covering on the cord you plug into an electrical socket. If it is damaged, the current can be "short circuited" and the neuron and the axon will not function. This sheath allows impulses to travel rapidly. MS is a disease where these sheaths are damaged.
What increases the speed of the transmission?
Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath
What are schwann cell nucleus'?
myelin sheath peace.love.faith
What increases the speed of impulse transmission?
Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath
It insulates the axon of the neuron?
An insulating layer that surrounds the axon is a myelin sheath.
The layer of lipid around an axon is called?
Myelin sheath
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 creates myelin sheath?
Oligodendrocytes are specialized neurolgical cells that produce myelin sheath.
What is the patchy disappearance in multiple sclerosis?
the Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath Your welcome I had to look for it
What is the sheath of a schwann cell called?
myelin sheath
