Is the schwann cell a plant cell?
No--a schwann cell is a type of glial cell, a cell that functions to help and support neurons in a nervous system.
Which cell will help an axon regrow from the soma?
schwann cells
Which theory did the work of virchow schwann and schleiden help to form?
cell theory
Which of the following PNS neuroglia help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers in the PNS?
Schwann Cell
Did Rudolf Virchow get help back in 1858 for cell theory?
Rudolf Virchow apparently received no help in 1858 for his opinions on cell theory. Some of his opinions, however, were based upon research by Theodor Schwann.
What theory did Schwann help disprove?
Theodor Schwann was against the Middle-Age theory of vitalism.

How do Schwann cells and astrocytes differ?
A+ Students - myelin sheath A Schwann cell is a particular type of neuroglial cell, found only in the peripheral nervous system. Schwann cells produce the myelin sheath, which insulates the axons of bodily nerves, increasing the signal velocity.
How do minerals contribute to good health?
They help in everything from cell growth to organ functioning.
What is the difference between Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes?
1) starting with the obvious; oligodendrocytes myelinate axons in the CNS whereas schwann cells myelinate axons in the PNS 2) a single oligodendrocyte is able to myelinate multiple axons whereas a schwann cell can only myelinate a single axon. 3) schwann cell myelination allows for axonal grown and regeneration where as oligodendrocytes inhibit axonal growth and regeneration. 4).... and probably a bunch more differences
What is the function of the schwann cells?
Schwann cells are part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS.) They have two major functions, they produce the myelin sheath which covers the schwan cell, which helps to repair and regenerate nerves that have been damaged. In addition, they help the nerve impulse to be passed on quicker so that the brain can send a impulse to ones bones and muscles.
Do the dividing cells of a many celled organism separate?
No, because they need to have 2parents help contribute to form the offspring cell.
