Identify the neuroglial cell from its function: Forms the myelin sheath in the CNS What is the basic functional unit of the nervous system? What is it specialized to do? Which nerve cells carry impulses from the brain to the muscles? A. Sensory. B. Motor. C. Afferent. D. Association ...
What muscles attach to the femur? What is striated muscle? What are the two types of kyphosis? What is a degenerative disease of the nervous system? What is a sustained muscle contraction called? What forms the myelin sheath in the spinal cord?
Identify the term: Cells in the CNS that form myelin. Identify the neuroglial cell from its function: Forms the myelin sheath in the CNS What are the nodes of Ranvier in a neuron? Myelin sheaths on CNS neurons are formed by these "glia" cells A. microglia. B. Schwann. C. oligodendroc...
Fungal infections of the central nervous system (CNS) can be broadly categorized into two forms based on the causative organism’s size and pathogenesis. Yeast infections (e.g., Cryptococcus, Candida) are smaller and disseminate hematogenously, resulting in parenchymal granulomas, abscesses, and di...
In addition, neural cell division in the dentate gyrus and subventricular zone guarantees regeneration of neurons in the CNS [367]. Simvastatin induced both astrocytic and neuronal differentiation during in vitro experiments, but quantitative data shows that simvastatin significantly increased neuron ...
The protective myelin covering of the nerve fibers in the central nervous system is damaged in people with multiple sclerosis. Myelin is a fatty material that forms a sheath around a nerve and permits electrical impulses to be conducted along the nerve fiber with speed and accuracy, much like ...
IL-17A is the key effector cytokine produced by pro-inflammatory T helper 17 (Th17) cells, CD8+and γδ T cells and by other cells in the CNS, such as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in active MS lesions [89]. IL-17A drives expression of several inflammatory genes and mediator release, ...
289 aa, soluble protein Cytosolic and also partially associated to the plasma membrane Unknown function; predicted to be involved in the hyperpolarization of the neuronal cell membrane; also associated to proteasome degradation aa: amino acid. Mutations in these NCL proteins cause the different forms ...
What neuroglia type forms the myelin sheath in the PNS? What is thymus vulgaris? What is the parietal bone? What is the function of the parietal pleura? What is proximal tubule? What is the oculomotor nerve? What do gap junctions do in the CNS?
Myelin is a white membraneous substance that wraps around the shafts of axons forming sheaths. The glial cells that provide axons with myelin are the oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and the Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system....
