What else can I help you with?
What forms myelin sheath?
The glial cells: oligodendrocytes for central nervous system and schwann cells for peripheral nervous system.
Schwann cells are functionally similar to?
Schwann cells are functionally similar to oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. They both provide support and insulation to nerve fibers by forming a myelin sheath around them, which helps in the transmission of nerve signals. Schwann cells are found in the peripheral nervous system while oligodendrocytes are found in the central nervous system.
Which type of cell produces the myelin covering around the axon of a neuron?
In the central nervous system, neuronal axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes. In the peripheral nervous system axons are myelinated by Schwann cells.
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
Why can the peripheral nervous system heal but the central nervous system can't?
the schwann cells (supportive cells) in the peripheral nervous system allow the neurons to regenerate, while the supportive cells in the central nervous system (oligodendrocytes and astrocytes) prevent neuron regeneration.
What type of tissue Contains schwann cells?
Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
Which type of glial cells produces the myelin sheaths that insulate axons or nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS)?
myelin sheath
Schwann cells are a type of ___ of the peripheral nervous system?
glial cells
Do neurotransmitters form the myelin sheath?
No, not at all. The myelin sheaths are actually made by other living cells in the nervous system known as glia. Two types of glia myelinate the nervous system: oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. The oligodendrocytes for myelin in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system (everything outside the brain and spinal cord).
Myelin is formed by?
there are specialized cells in the nervous system produce and form the myelin in the central nervous system (brain & spinal cord) by oligodendrocytes in the peripheral nervous system by schwann cells
Repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system?
How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? We can help our nervous systems by improving our reflexes
Which cell will help an axon regrow from the soma?
Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system play a role in promoting axon regrowth following nerve injury. These cells provide structural support and release growth factors that facilitate axon regeneration.
