Schwann cells are part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS.) They have two major functions, they produce the myelin sheath which covers the schwan cell, which helps to repair and regenerate nerves that have been damaged. In addition, they help the nerve impulse to be passed on quicker so that the brain can send a impulse to ones bones and muscles.
What else can I help you with?
What was Schwann conclusion about cells?
His conclusion was that all animals have cells.
What did did Schwann discover?
Cells are the basic unit structure and function of all living thing's+
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"
Are there schwann cells in dogs stomachs?
As there are nerve cells in stomach linings, one would assume so. Schwann cells are glial cells that protect and help neurons and are found in the peripheral nervous system--all nerves outside the brain and spine. So although I've never studied a dogs stomach, it seems impossible for them not to have them. Axons need the insulation provided by the schwann cells to properly function.
What type of tissue Contains schwann cells?
Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
What did the German biologist theodor schwann conclude?
The German biologist Theodor Schwann concluded that all animals are made up of cells, which contributed to the development of the cell theory. He also proposed that cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.
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,
What was Schwann famouse for?
Schwann was famous for his cell theory, which proposed that all living organisms are composed of cells, and that cells are the basic unit of structure and function in all living things. This theory laid the foundation for modern cell biology.
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
