Sheaths

These myelin-like sheaths share several structural features with the sheaths found in vertebrates including multiplicity of membranes, condensation of membrane, and nodes.

Based on his appearance in ‘5 Ronin’, Wolverine is authentically dressed in traditional samurai clothing and comes complete with two katana swords of arming length, and two sheaths that can be neatly tucked into his waist belt and a scarf.

Pronghorns have true horns, but the sheaths of the horns are shed each year.

Tonight, it is nutty borlotti beans, slippery sheaths of skinned red pepper, artichoke hearts, more onions and the like.

Articular ligaments "Ligament" most commonly refers to a band of dense regular connective tissue bundles made of collagenous fibers, with bundles protected by dense irregular connective tissue sheaths.

Both act to add myelin sheaths to the axons, which acts as a form of insulation allowing for better and faster proliferation of electrical signals along the nerves.

Characteristics Members of the family are small to large herbaceous plants with distichous leaves with basal sheaths that overlap to form a pseudostem.

Deep flexor muscles straighten the terminal phalanges, so the claws protrude from their sheaths, and the soft "velvety" paw becomes suddenly converted into a formidable weapon.

It occurs when the macrophages of an individual's own immune system damage the myelin sheaths that insulate the axon of the nerve.

Lead causes loss of neurons' myelin sheaths, reduces numbers of neurons, interferes with neurotransmission, and decreases neuronal growth.

Monocotyledonous plants have two additional structures in the form of sheaths.

Opposition Colonial opposition in Kenya further Muthirigu Little knives in their sheaths That they may fight with the church, The time has come.

Other mold spores have slimy sheaths and are more suited to water dispersal.

Sheaths may vary from simple covers to ornate silver or gold-decorated pieces.

Such defective sheaths often arise from genetic mutations affecting the biosynthesis and formation of myelin.

The base of the petiole widens to form a sheath; the tightly packed sheaths make up the pseudostem, which is all that supports the plant.

The leaf stalks ( petioles ) are expanded at the base to form sheaths that are tightly wrapped together to form the pseudostem.

The main quills may be dyed, and then applied in combination with thread to embellish leather accessories such as knife sheaths and leather bags.

The sheaths are formed by glial cells: oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.

To minimize metabolic expense while maintaining rapid conduction, many neurons have insulating sheaths of myelin around their axons.
