What two cells form the insulating sheaths around axons?
Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes
Myelin is a lipid insulation produced by the?
Oligodendrocytes are specialized neurolgical cells that produce myelin sheath.

neurons

After axonial injury regeneration in peripheral nerves is guided bywhat?
The Remaining Schwann Cells schwann cells, after injury and disruption to target, the remaining schwann cells undergo a rapid mitotic division until the target tissue is reached and the successful pathway is regenerated under the structural guidance of the schwann cells,
Who advanced the cell theory with his conclusion that cells could only come from cells?
Schliden, Schwann, and Virchow.
Which cells form myelin in the spinal cord?
They are called oligodendrocytes but in the peripheral nervous system you would call them schwann cells.
Who concluded all animal tissues that were made of cells?
Theodor Schwann concluded that all animal tissues were made of cells.
What are the cells that form nervous tissue?
neurons
What was Schwann conclusion about cells?
His conclusion was that all animals have cells.
Why does the myelin sheath have gaps in it?
Because the sheath is produced by several Schwann cells that arrange themselves end to end along the nerve fiber, each Schwann cell forms only one part of the tiny segment of the sheath.
What is capable of synthesizing myelin?
schwann cells
