| 11. | The primary lipid of myelin is a glycolipid called galactocerebroside.
|
| 12. | The intertwining hydrocarbon chains of sphingomyelin serve to strengthen the myelin sheath.
|
| 13. | The colour difference arises mainly from the whiteness of myelin.
|
| 14. | Myelin prevents ions from entering or leaving the axon along myelinated segments.
|
| 15. | Myelin has two important advantages : fast conduction speed and energy efficiency.
|
| 16. | Multicomponent relaxometry ( MCR ) allow visualization and quantification of myelin content.
|
| 17. | In the second group, myelin is abnormal and degenerates.
|
| 18. | Monogalactosylceramide is the largest single component of the myelin sheath of nerves.
|
| 19. | Cerebroside synthesis can therefore give a measurement of myelin formation or remyelination.
|
| 20. | Myelin is a lipid covering that speeds the conduction of action potentials.
