PSY 430 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Schwann Cell, Neuroglia, Axon Terminal
Document Summary
D: electrical insulator for vertebrae nerve cells that is made up of proteins and fats. Represents a major vertebra feature due to invertebrates not containing myelin on neurons - larger cells means slower excitation. I: insulation for neurons to allow for quicker response and excitation. M: relates to the distinction between invertebrates and vertebrates and which species can produce a quicker excitation. E: saltatory conduction utilizes the effects of myelination along axons. D: two main forms of glial cells: oligodendrocytes and schwann cells, where oli. cells can myelinated more than on neuron and their development is programed or developed upon. Astrocytes unlike schwann cells which can only myelinate one cell and development of. M: relates to the production of myelin and whether if invertebrates contain glial cells due to them not having myelin along their neurons. E: oligodendrocytes and schwann cells are two forms of glial cells.
