Funtion of the nucleus of a schwann cell?

Answer 1

When the peripheral nervous system develops, Schwann cells line up along unmyelinated axons at regular intervals that eventually become the nodes of Ranvier (important for saltatory nerve condution). The ensheathing process takes place as Schwann cells wrap around the axon many times over, creating concentric layers whose cytoplasm progressively condenses. Contact with the axons also activates myelin genes leading to the expression of myelin glycoproteins and lipids across the Schwann cell plasma membrane. The sheath therefore consists of plasma membrane, cytosol, lipids, glycoproteins, and the Schwann cell nucleus.

*So basically, the schwann cells is a protective membrane that covers the axon. It also produces myelin sheath (the coating of a neuron), which increases the speed of the nerve impulse.

Answer 2

The main purpose of Schwann cells in the human peripheral nerve system is to form the myelin sheath that covers the neuron's (nerve cell) axon (the part of the neuron that transports its electrical signal to its following cell).

Answer 3

The Schwann Cell produces the myelin sheath and functions in repair and regeneration of damaged nerves

Answer 4

Schwann cells are any of the cells covering the myelin sheath that surrounds and insulates a peripheral nerve fiber.

Answer 5

They both form myelin sheaths, but Schwann cells only do so in the peripheral nervous system.

Answer 6

They form the myelin sheath that runs along the axons of nerve tissue

Answer 7

Schwann cell are a main element of the nervous system. The nucleus of a schwann cell helps to deal with sensory signals.
