HELP ASAP
Nerve pathways that are used often receive electrical insulators around the axons to make nerve transmission faster and easier. The insulation is called the ____________.

Respuesta :

Pretty sure your answer is Myelin.

Answer;

Myelin sheath

Explanation;

  • Neurons are often  surrounded by a myelin sheath to improve the speed of their communication, and to keep their electrical charges from shorting out with other neurons.
  • Myelination of neurons by myelin sheath acts as an insulation to the neurons and this facilitates the transmission of electrical signals or impulses.
  • Myelin sheath is a fatty layer tissue that surrounds the axon of a neuron and acts as an insulator and also allows faster transmission of electrical signals.
