Schwann cells and satellite cells are found only in the CNS?

No, in the PNS, or peripheral nervous system.


Are Schwann cells found in the central nervous system?

myelin sheath


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.


Do schwann cells surround axons of neurons on the cerebrum?

No, Schwann cells do not surround axons of neurons in the cerebrum. Schwann cells are primarily found in the peripheral nervous system, where they myelinate peripheral axons. In the central nervous system, including the cerebrum, oligodendrocytes perform a similar function by myelinating axons.

What is the specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons found in the peripheral nervous system?

The specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons in the peripheral nervous system are called Schwann cells. Schwann cells wrap around the axons of neurons to form the myelin sheath, which helps to insulate and protect the nerve fibers, allowing for faster and more efficient conduction of nerve impulses.


What type of tissue Contains schwann cells?

Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System


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.


After axonial injury regeneration in peripheral nerves is guided bywhat?
