What neuroglial cell is located in the peripheral nervous system?
Schwann cells and satellite cells are neuroglial cells located in the PNS
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.
The sheath of Schwann is also called what?
Its the Neurilemma.
What did virchowschleidan and schwann each contribute to the cell theory?

Who studied plant cell?
Schwann
Who was Schwann?

What is a schwann cell?
A schwann cell are supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system, they wrap themselves around nerve axons.
How many axons can a single Schwann cell myelinate?
Unlike oligodendrocytes Schwann cells can only myelinate one axon. But the number of Schwann cells it takes to myelinate an axon depends on the axon length as a Schwann cell only myelinates one area between pairs of Nodes of Ranvier. Think of it like a string of sausage. the sting is the axon, each sausage is where a single Schwann cell myelinates that axon, as stated the length will determine the total number of Schwann cells needed for myelination, but a Schwann cell can only myelinate one axon.
What is another name for schwann cell?
neurilemmocyte
Did Theodor Schwann work alone to develop the cell theory.?
False
Who is Theodore schwann and what did he do?
