Q

myelination (CNS)

A

CNS - one oligodendrocyte myelinates one internode on multiple axons

39
Q

myelination (PNS)

A

Peripheral Nervous System - one Schwann cell myelinates one internode on a single axon

40
Q

Myelination electrically insulates ______

A

Myelination electrically insulates axons, thereby increasing impulse conduction speed

41
Q

Myelinated neurons have a ___ appearance

A

white (bc of Schwann cells)

*white matter

42
Q

White matter

A
  • No synaptic activity present – used for fast transmission of signal
43
Q

where do we find white matter in spinal cord?

A

external

44

what occurs in grey matter?

A

communication
Synapse

46
Q

why does the thoracic area have less gray matter?
