The specialized cells of the PNS that are surrounded by a basement membrane that is capable of forming a regeneration tube through which a severed peripheral axon can regrow are the?

Schwann cells are the specialized cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that are capable of forming a regeneration tube to guide a severed peripheral axon during the process of regeneration. This process allows for potential regrowth and repair of damaged nerves in the PNS.


What is the difference between the myelin in the cns versus myelin in the pns?

PNSCNSContinue along a single axonCoil around multiple axonsProduced by schwann cellsProduced by oligodendrocytesRegenerativeNon-regenerative


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


How are nerve cells ensheathed with myelin in the CNS and the PNS?

In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which wrap their extensions around the axons of nerve cells. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), myelin is produced by Schwann cells, which wrap around the axons in a spiral fashion. Myelin sheaths in both systems help to insulate and speed up the transmission of nerve impulses.


What cells os only found in the PNS?

Satellite cells are only found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). These cells provide support and nutrients to the neurons in the PNS.

What type of cells produce the myelin sheath in the central nervous system?

Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells both produce myelin. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the CNS, whereas Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS. CNS refers to central nervous system PNS refers to peripheral nervous system


What types of neuroglia are found in the PNS?

satellite cells and schwann cells


What creates the myelin sheath in the PNS?

Schwann cells make the myelin sheath in the PNS. Each of the Schwann cells myelinate their own segment of the axon, they work together to make the myelin sheath.


Where are schwann cells found?

In the peripheral nervous system otherwise known as the PNS.


Schwann cells and satellite cells are found only in the CNS?

No, in the PNS, or peripheral nervous system.

What are the types of neuroglia?

There are 6 different types CNS: astrocytes, microglia, ependymal, and oligodendrocytes, PNS: satellite cells, and schwann cells

Which of the following PNS neuroglia help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers in the PNS?

The Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers. These cells wrap around the nerve fibers to provide insulation and support for faster nerve impulse conduction.
