Theodor Schwann was a German physiologist who formulated the cell doctrine, which states that "All living things are composed of cells and cell products". His theories and observations became the foundation of modern histology.

Describe the three different forms of Schwann cells?

Schwann cells are glial cells in the peripheral nervous system that support neurons and facilitate nerve regeneration. There are three forms: myelinating Schwann cells, which wrap around axons to form myelin sheaths that enhance signal conduction; non-myelinating Schwann cells, which support unmyelinated axons and maintain their health; and repair Schwann cells, which proliferate and aid in the regeneration of damaged nerves after injury. Together, these forms play crucial roles in nerve function and repair.
