Repeating contractile units that make up a myofibril are called ________. Select one: a. neuromuscular junctions b. muscle fibers c. triads d. sarcomeres The fact that Nissi Bodies are not found in axons contributes to the very slow regeneration and repair time of axons. Select one: True False

Step 1
Repeating contractile units that make up a myofibril are called sarcomeres. This statement is correct. Sarcomeres are the basic functional units of muscle fibers and are responsible for muscle contraction. Show more…

Schwann cells Ependymal cells Astrocytes Oligodendrocytes Microglia Satellite cells Axons of unipolar neurons are insulated by , which increase the speed of the electrical impulse. The ventricles of the brain are lined with , which form an epithelial layer that is permeable to cerebrospinal fluid. The myelin sheath of the Central Nervous System is formed by . Cell bodies of unipolar neurons are insulated from adjacent cell bodies by . are the neuroglia, which help to regulate the reuptake of neurotransmitters from neural tissue. The macrophages of the Central Nervous System, which function to remove foreign microorganisms, are called .

a damaged axon in the pns may be able to regenerate only if the cell body is intact. why do you think that the cell body must be intact for regeneration to occur? (hint: think about the function of the organelles and other structures located in the cell body.)

Neural crest cells and migrating axons are similar in that they: - both extend microtubule-filled filopodial "feelers" into the environment to pull the cell forward - both utilize chemoattractants in the environment to move in the right direction - both use RhoGTPases to regulate the growth of filopodia
