Schwann cells are responsible for the formation of the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system. They wrap around the axons of peripheral neurons, providing insulation that enhances the speed of electrical signal transmission. Additionally, Schwann cells play a role in nerve regeneration by promoting the repair and maintenance of damaged nerves.
What else can I help you with?
Who Proposed that new cells are formed from other cells.?
Theodor Schwann
Who proposed that new cells are formed from other cells'?
Theodor Schwann
The neurilemma of axons in the peripheral nervous system is formed 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
What two cells form the insulating sheaths around axons?
Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes
What are the description of schwann cells?
This questions has been answered below in the related discussions, "what are Schwann cells"
What type of tissue Contains schwann cells?
Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
After axonial injury regeneration in peripheral nerves is guided bywhat?
The Remaining Schwann Cells schwann cells, after injury and disruption to target, the remaining schwann cells undergo a rapid mitotic division until the target tissue is reached and the successful pathway is regenerated under the structural guidance of the schwann cells,
How are nerves formed?
Nerves are formed in a late stage of development, when some of the cells composing the nerve cord and the brain send out long fibers bound together in bundles (nerves).
Which cells form myelin in the spinal cord?
They are called oligodendrocytes but in the peripheral nervous system you would call them schwann cells.
Who concluded all animal tissues that were made of cells?
Theodor Schwann concluded that all animal tissues were made of cells.
What are the cells that form nervous tissue?
neurons
