Answer:

Myelin Sheath. The Myelin Sheath of a neuron consists of fat-containing cells that insulate the axon from electrical activity. This insulation acts to increase the rate of transmission of signals. A gap exists between each myelin sheath cell along the axon.

Answer:  Myelin Sheath. The Myelin Sheath of a neuron consists of fat-containing cells that insulate the axon from electrical activity. This insulation acts to increase the rate of transmission of signals. A gap exists between each myelin sheath cell along the axon.

Explanation:. Myelin can greatly increase the speed of electrical impulses in neurons because it insulates the axon and assembles voltage-gated sodium channel clusters at discrete nodes along its length. Myelin damage causes several neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis.

Into which chamber of the heart do the superior vena cava is located?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The superior vena cava is located in the upper chest region and is formed by the joining of the brachiocephalic veins. These veins drain blood from the upper body regions including the head, neck, and chest. It is bordered by heart structures such as the aorta and pulmonary artery.

The superior vena cava (and inferior vena cava) are veins that return deoxygenated blood from circulation in the body and empty it into the right atrium.

Why does the DNA need to wind up during prophase?
Advocard [28]

Before mitosis, the cell creates an identical set of its own genetic information – this is called DNA replication. The genetic information is in the DNA of the chromosomes. At the beginning of mitosis the chromosomes wind up into visible objects that can be seen with a light microscope. The chromosomes are now two chromatids joined at the centromere. Since the two chromatids are identical to each other, they are called sister chromatids.

Mitosis happens in all types of dividing cells in the human body except with sperm and ova. The sperm and ova are gametes or sex cells. The gametes are produced by a different division method called meiosis.

Your answer is: Cancer

If a checkpoint fails or if a cell suffers physical damage to chromosomes during cell division, or if it suffers a debilitating somatic mutation in a prior S phase, it may selfdestruct in response to a consequent biochemical anomaly.
Hope this helps!! :)
