3. Question
Consider the following statements about ‘Myelin Sheath’
- Myelin basic protein (MBP), a major component of myelin sheath is a protective membrane that wraps around the axon of nerve cells
- It acts as a conductor, allowing for fast and efficient transmission of electrical signals along the nerve cells
- Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique is used to form monolayers of pure myelin basic protein at the air-water and air-solid interfaces
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution (c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct Myelin basic protein (MBP), a major protein component of myelin sheath, which is a protective membrane that wraps around the axon of nerve cells and acts as a model protein in studying diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS).
