Answer:

Myelination

Explanation:

The covering of myelin around the axons is called the myelin sheath. This myelin sheath helps in transfer of information faster and also in complex  processes of the brain. The process of myelination begins in the PNS (peripheral nervous system).

The myelinated section are seperated from each other with a gap called nodes of ranvier. Glial cells (oligodendrocytes) forms the myelin sheath in the central nervous system and schwann cells (glial cells) forms the myelin sheath in peripheral nervous system. The propagation of electrical impulse in the myelinated fibers is by saltatory conduction that is from one node to another.

Answer:

Myelination

Explanation:

Myelination refers to the process which forms a protective layer made up of lipid-containing substance fats around the neurons. This protective layer around the neuron is known as the myelin sheath.

The myelin sheath is formed by the Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system by the extension and helical wrapping of the plasma membrane of the Schwann cells around neurons. similarly, Oligodendrocytes form the myelin layer around the neurons in the CNS.

Thus, myelination is the correct answer.

How is the increase in pulse rate while carrying out vigorous activities related to the rate of oxygen intake and release of car
polet [3.4K]
During exercise there is an increase in physical activity and muscle cells respire more than they do when the body is at rest. The heart rate increases during exercise. The rate and depth of breathing increases - this makes sure that more oxygen is absorbed into the blood, and more carbon dioxide is removed from it.

"ricin inhibits the functioning of ribosomes. What part of protein synthesis would be affected by ricin? What effect would this
kondor19780726 [428]

Ricin comes under the category of functionally related toxins, in a combination known as RIPs (ribosome inactivating proteins). This disables ribosomes and stops the process of protein synthesis.  

They directly associate with and inactivate the ribosomes or modify the factors taking part in the process of translation, generally the elongation step. These proteins bring about depurination of adenine at position 4324 in the 28 S rRNA.  

This further inhibits the generation of a critical-stem-loop configuration to which the elongation factor is considered to combine at the time of the translocation step of translation. The ultimate outcome of this activity is the complete inhibition of cellular translation.
