Neurolemma is just an outer shell of the myelin sheath, it's function is to protect a myelinated cell from injury and aid in its healing from injury by allowing information to travel faster to the brain that an unmyelinated cell.

NERve cell function?
conducts impluses
What type of structure would help nerve cells carry out this function?
It helps the cell connect with other nerve cells It helps the cell connect with other nerve cells
A human liver cell is very different in a structure and function from a nerve cell in the same person this is best explained by the fact?
A.different genes function in each type of cell
Are nerve cells are also called neurotics?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
How can you use cell in a sentence?
Nerve cells are a part of the nervous system. There are nerve cells all around the body. Without nerve cells your body would not function the way it does.
Do all nerve cells have a neurilemma?
The neurilemma is the Schwann cell. This helps with regeneration of cells. The nerve cells in the brain do not have neurilemma and therefore, cannot regenerate.
What is the neurilemma and what is it function?
the plasma membrane surrounding a Schwann cell of a myelinated nerve fiber and separating layers of myelin
What are the two coverings of a nerve cell?
One is the Myelin Sheath, the other I would assume is the Neurilemma.
NERve cell function?
conducts impluses
What is the explanation for the nucleus in a nerve cell?
Chemical control center and data repository. It has nothing to do with the function of the nerve cell as part of a nerve.
How are neuron and nerve similar in function?
This is just terminology. Neuron = 'nerve cell'
A nerve cell can also be called a(an) .?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
The sheath of Schwann is also called what?
Its the Neurilemma.
Function of a nerve cell?
To send messaged to the brain
What statement best describes a function of a nerve cell?
A nerve cell (neuron) transmits information from a part of the body to the brain
What is the sheath of the Schwann Cell also called?
Surrounding the myelin sheath, there is a thin membrane called neurilemmal sheath. This is also called neurilemma or sheath of Schwann. This contains Schwann cells, which have flattened and elongated nuclei. The cytoplasm is thin and modified to form the thin sheath of neurilemma enclosing the myelin sheath. One nucleus is present in each internode of the axon. The nucleus is situated between myelin sheath adn neurilemma. At the node of Ranvier (where myelin sheath is absent), the neurilemma invaginates and runs up to axolemma in the form of a finger like process. In nonmyelinated nerve fiber, the neurilemma continuously surrounds axolemma. Neurilemma is absent in central nervous system. Neurilemma is necessary for the formation of myelin sheath (myelinogeneis).
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its what?
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its king extensions. Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through the surface.
