Question

Coating the neural fibers with an insulating fatty sheath during the process of __________ improves the efficiency of message transfer. select one:
a. myelination
b. neuroimaging
c. synaptic pruning
d. neurotransmission

Answer 1

Answer;

-Myelination

Explanation;

-Myelination is the process in which neural fibers are coated with an insulating fatty sheath (called myelin) that improves the efficiency of message transfer.

-Most nerve fibers are surrounded by an insulating, fatty sheath called myelin, which acts to speed up impulses. The myelin sheath contains periodic breaks called nodes of Ranvier. By jumping from node to node, the impulse can travel much more quickly than if it had to travel along the entire length of the nerve fiber.

Answer 2

Answer: a. myelination

Explanation:

Myelination is the process by which the fatty coating that is called as the myelin is coated around the axon of each neuron. This process protects the neuron and it also helps in transferring signals from one neuron to another more quickly and efficiently.

This process begins in the cerebellum and brain stem before the birth but the process remain uncompleted until late adolescence.
