Myelin: A Specialized Membrane for Cell Communication Schwann cells make myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS: nerves) and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS: brain and spinal cord). In the PNS, one Schwann cell forms a single myelin sheath (Figure 1A).

- A nerve fiber is a threadlike extension of a nerve cell and consists of an axon and (in some cases) a myelin sheath. There are nerve fibers in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin is produced by oligodendroglia cells. Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

What is Myelin? Myelin is present in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS); however only the central nervous system is affected by MS. CNS myelin is produced by special cells called oligodendrocytes.PNS myelin is produced by Schwann cells.The two types of myelin are chemically different, but they both perform the same function — to promote efficient transmission of a nerve impulse along the axon.NS myelin is produced by special cells called oligodendrocytes. PNS myelin is produced by Schwann cells. The two types of myelin are chemically different, but they both perform the same function — to promote efficient transmission of a nerve impulse along the axon.

What is Myelin? Each neuron is made up of a cell body and an axon (the extension of the cell body that carries messages). Most of the axons in the central nervous system are wrapped in myelin, a substance rich in lipids (fatty substances) and proteins.NS myelin is produced by special cells called oligodendrocytes. PNS myelin is produced by Schwann cells. The two types of myelin are chemically different, but they both perform the same function — to promote efficient transmission of a nerve impulse along the axon.

Structure and Functions of Nervous Tissue 1 : : Forms part of the Myelin sheath (protective covering) around a PNS neuron. 2  That is, Schwann cells wrap around the axon of the neurone, forming areas in which myelin forms-resulting in the formation of a myelin sheath around the axon-between the axon and the Schwann cell(s).ligodendrocyte cells are found in the Central Nervous System (CNS), that is in the tissues of the Brain and Spinal Cord. : Oligodendrocytes differ from astrocytes (listed higher-up this page) by having fewer and thinner processes and no gap junctions. : 1  Forms supporting network around CNS neurons.

Myelin Myelin is a fatty white substance that surrounds the axon dielectric (electrically insulating) material that forms a layer, the myelin sheath, usually around only the axon of a neuron. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system.It is an outgrowth of a type of glial cell.The production of the myelin sheath is called myelination. In humans, myelination begins in the 14th week of fetal development, although little myelin exists in the brain at the time of birth.yelin is made by different cell types, and varies in chemical composition and configuration, but performs the same insulating function. Myelinated axons are white in appearance, hence the white matter of the brain.

How Is the Myelin Sheath Formed? Quick Answer. The myelin sheath is formed as individual cells extend their plasma membranes around the axons of neurons in a spiral fashion. In the central nervous system, these are called oligodendroglial cells, while in the peripheral nervous system, they are called Schwann cells. Continue Reading.

- CNS: oligodendrocytes make the myelin, they cooperate in the formation of a myelin sheath along the axon, this is the process of myelination. Each oligodendrocyte produces segments of several axons.

- Schwann cells make myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS: nerves) and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS: brain and spinal cord). In the PNS, one Schwann cell forms a single myelin sheath (Figure 1A).n contrast, among the myelinated nerve fibers, axons are mostly covered by myelin sheaths, and transmembrane currents can only occur at the nodes of Ranvier where the axonal membrane is exposed.

Chapter 12-Nervous System 1. oligodendrocytes - form many myelin sheaths in CNS (myelinates many axons) 2. astrocytes - forms blood-brain barrier, maintains K+ levels outside neurons, removes excess neurotransmitters. *hyperexcitability in NS due to ↑ K+ --> leads to seizures.

How do neurons work? Myelin is the fatty membranes of cells called Oligodendroglia (in the CNS) and Schwann Cells (in the PNS) that wraps around the axon and acts as an insulator, preventing the dissipation of the depolarisation wave.

Anger and Catharsis: Myth, Metaphor or Reality? The arbitrary use of expressive, ventilationist or cathartic techniques like pillow-pounding, primal-screaming, bed-beating or bataka-bashing and so forth, designed to drain off or disperse anger and rage is, in the long run, ineffective and clinically counterproductive.

- Myelination, the process by which glial cells ensheath the axons of neurons in layers of myelin, ensures the rapid conduction of electrical impulses in the nervous system. The formation of myelin sheaths is one of the most spectacular examples of cell-cell interaction and coordination in nature.

- Schwann cells are the cellular counterparts to oligodendrocytes in the peripheral nervous system. Similarly to oligodendrocytes they form the myelin sheath. In contrast to the oligodendrocyte each Schwann cell is associated with only one axonal segment.he major function of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells is the formation of myelin. Myelin acts as an insulator of axonal segments and is a prerequisite for the high velocity of nerve conduction, of up to 200 m/second.

Oligodendrocyte Oligodendrocytes are a type of large glial cell found in the central nervous system. Oligodendrocytes produce the myelin sheath insulating neuronal axons (analogous to Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system), although some oligodendrocytes (called satellite oligodendrocytes) are not involved in myelination.

Myelin (Redirected from Myelin sheath) Myelin is a fatty white substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells, forming an electrically insulating layer. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. It is an outgrowth of a type of glial cell. The production of the myelin sheath is called myelination or myelinogenesis. In humans, myelination begins early in the 3rd trimester, although little myelin exists in the brain at the time of birth.

What are the differences between the myelin sheath that surrounds the axons in the CNS, compared to the PNS? Best Answer: the Myelin Sheath in the CNS is made from oligodendyte cells. Oligodendrocytes maintain a cell body that's not around the axon (see image) http://blustein.tripod.com/Oligodendrocy... The Myelin Sheath in the PNS is made from Schwann cells. Unlike Oligodendrocytes, each myelin between the nodes of ranvier is an individual cell that wraps around itself (see image) http://content.answers.com/main/content/... They put it a bit more eloquently: In this sense, Schwann cells are the peripheral nervous system's analogues of the central nervous system's oligodendrocytes.

Neuroglia: Function & Definition Another type of glial cell in the central nervous system are oligodendrocytes, which creates myelin sheaths around the axons of neurons. The myelin sheath helps your neurons conduct signals more quickly between one another and other cells. Finally, star-shaped glial cells in the CNS are collectively known as astrocytes.

Myelin Myelinated axons are white in appearance, hence the white matter of the brain. Myelin helps to insulate the axons from electrically charged atoms and molecules. These charged particles (ions) are found in the fluid surrounding the entire nervous system. Under a microscope, myelin looks like strings of sausages.
