Schwann cells and satellite cells are found only in the CNS?
No, in the PNS, or peripheral nervous system.
What neuroglial cell is located in the peripheral nervous system?
Schwann cells and satellite cells are neuroglial cells located in the PNS
Schwann cells are a type of ___ of the peripheral nervous system?
glial cells
The neurilemma of axons in the peripheral nervous system is formed by?
schwann cells
Where are schwann cells found?
In the peripheral nervous system otherwise known as the PNS.
What type of tissue Contains schwann cells?
Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
What forms myelin sheath?
The glial cells: oligodendrocytes for central nervous system and schwann cells for peripheral nervous system.
What is the specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons found in the peripheral nervous system?
Schwann Cells
Why can the peripheral nervous system heal but the central nervous system can't?
the schwann cells (supportive cells) in the peripheral nervous system allow the neurons to regenerate, while the supportive cells in the central nervous system (oligodendrocytes and astrocytes) prevent neuron regeneration.
What is a schwann cell?
A schwann cell are supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system, they wrap themselves around nerve axons.
What cells in the peripheral nervous system that form a covering around axons?
Schwann cells wrap around the AXONS of peripheral neurons.
Which cells form myelin in the spinal cord?
They are called oligodendrocytes but in the peripheral nervous system you would call them schwann cells.
