Myelin: Structure, Function & Processes from Chapter 14/ Lesson 6 3.4K Myelin is a lipid sheath that surrounds and protects axons to speed up the rate at which the electrical impulse travels along the axon. This lesson discusses the contents and function of myelin and the cells that myelinate...
What is a myelin sheath and what functions does it perform for a nerve? What is the function of nerve cells? Explain the functions of the myelin sheath. What is the function of the oculomotor nerve? Why is myelination important to the function of neurons? What is the function of the ...
MYELIN sheath diseasesMULTIPLE sclerosisDISEASE relapseAim: We reviewed the clinical features of a sample of pediatric acquired demyelinating syndromes with the purpose of determining the appropriate protocol for follow-up after the first episode. Methods: A multicenter retrospective observational study was ...

Depending on the localization of the lesions two types of changes in these functions were observed: 1. If a definite site in the paranodal myelin sheath was damaged without affecting the axon, an action potential could no longer be elicited, although the resting potential as well as the ...
a. How would the CNS be affected by the destruction of the myelin sheath in multiple sclerosis? b. What process would be impaired and what symptoms might result? Describe the functions of the midbrain, pons, and medulla. Define brain death. Broad...
For that purpose, we conducted targeted deletions of Sox10, Sox8, or both in the brains of two-month-old mice. Three weeks post-deletion, none of the resulting mouse mutants exhibited significant alterations in oligodendrocyte numbers, myelin sheath counts, myelin ultrastructure, or myelin protein...
