Definition of Myelinate. Meaning of Myelinate. Synonyms of Myelinate

- electrical impulses (called action potentials) p**** along the axon. The myelinated axon can be likened to an electrical wire (the axon) with insulating material...
- that make up the nerve. These impulses are extremely fast, with some myelinated neurons conducting at speeds up to 120 m/s. The impulses travel from one...
- oligodendrocytes myelinate nerves differ. A Schwann cell usually myelinates a single axon, completely surrounding it. Sometimes, they may myelinate many axons...
- oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, pre-myelinating cells, and mature myelinating oligodendrocytes in the CNS white matter. Non-myelinating oligodendrocytes are found...
- areas of the central nervous system (CNS) that are mainly made up of myelinated axons, also called tracts. Long thought to be p****ive tissue, white matter...
- and the group C nerve fibers. Group A are heavily myelinated, group B are moderately myelinated, and group C are unmyelinated. The other classification...
- (/ˈrɑːnvieɪ/ RAHN-vee-ay), also known as myelin-sheath gaps, occur along a myelinated axon where the axolemma is exposed to the extracellular space. Nodes of...
- Latin saltus 'leap, jump') is the propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to the next, increasing the conduction...
- Pacinian corpuscle. The two types of Schwann cells are myelinating and nonmyelinating. Myelinating Schwann cells wrap around axons of motor and sensory...
- relatively few myelinated axons, while white matter contains relatively few cell bodies and is composed chiefly of long-range myelinated axons. The colour...
