Many nerve fibres are bound together by which tissue and make up a nerve?
Vascular tissue
Connective tissue
Epithelial tissue
Meristematic tissue
Connective tissue
Nerve fibers (axons) are bundled together to form a nerve. These bundles are held together and supported by a specialized type of connective tissue.
Nerve fibers (axons) are bundled together to form a nerve. These bundles are held together and supported by a specialized type of connective tissue.
Think of a nerve like a multi-core electrical cable: the individual copper wires are the nerve fibers (axons), and the plastic outer casing and internal separators that hold them together represent the connective tissue.
In the peripheral nervous system, connective tissue sheaths provide structure and protection. The epineurium surrounds the entire nerve, the perineurium surrounds bundles of fibers (fascicles), and the endoneurium surrounds individual nerve fibers. This organization ensures electrical insulation and mechanical integrity for signal transmission.
Nerve fibers (axons) transmit electrical impulses.
Connective tissue (Epineurium, Perineurium, Endoneurium) provides support, protection, and nutrients.
A nerve is a bundle of many such nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system.
Provides physical protection to the delicate axons.
Facilitates the organized distribution of blood vessels to the nerve.
Peripheral Nervous System structure.
Transmission of sensory and motor signals.
Vascular tissue (Xylem/Phloem) is involved in transport in plants, not the binding of animal nerve fibers.
Epithelial tissue forms linings and coverings, not the structural sheath of nerves.
Meristematic tissue is found in plants and is responsible for growth.
B is correct тАФ Connective tissue is responsible for binding nerve fibers together to form a nerve.
Remember that in biology, connective tissue is the most abundant and widely distributed tissue, providing support and binding organs and tissues together.
