A schwann cell are supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system, they wrap themselves around nerve axons.
The name of the theory that Schleiden and Schwann developed is the cell theory.
Another name for Schwann cell is neurolemmocyte. Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that provides support and insulation to axons in the peripheral nervous system.
Schwann
The German biologist Theodor Schwann (1810-1882) is considered a founder of the cell theory.
The Schwann cell forms a myelin sheath around the axon of the nerve.
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.

No, Schwann cells are a type of glial cell found in the nervous system of animals, including humans. They play a role in supporting and protecting neurons. Plant cells, on the other hand, are the basic unit of plant structure and function.
