Neurilemma, also known as the Schwann sheath, is a layer of cells that encases the axons of peripheral nerves. It is formed by Schwann cells, which provide insulation and support to the nerve fibers, aiding in the regeneration of damaged axons. The neurilemma plays a crucial role in the peripheral nervous system by facilitating the repair process after injury and maintaining the health of nerve fibers.
What else can I help you with?
Is mylean sheath the same as neurilemma-?
Yes, the mylean sheath is the same as the neurilemma.
Do all nerve cells have a neurilemma?
No, not all nerve cells have a neurilemma. The neurilemma is a part of peripheral nerve fibers but is not present in the central nervous system. It is a layer of Schwann cells that surround and protect the axon of peripheral nerves.
What is the sheath of Schwann called?
Its the Neurilemma.
What is the outermost membrane of the myelin sheath called?
Neurilemma
What do the bodies of Schwann cells make up?
The neurilemma
What is The outermost membrane of the myelin sheath is called the?
neurilemma
What is the sheath of the Schwann Cell also called?
Surrounding the myelin sheath, there is a thin membrane called neurilemmal sheath. This is also called neurilemma or sheath of Schwann. This contains Schwann cells, which have flattened and elongated nuclei. The cytoplasm is thin and modified to form the thin sheath of neurilemma enclosing the myelin sheath. One nucleus is present in each internode of the axon. The nucleus is situated between myelin sheath adn neurilemma. At the node of Ranvier (where myelin sheath is absent), the neurilemma invaginates and runs up to axolemma in the form of a finger like process. In nonmyelinated nerve fiber, the neurilemma continuously surrounds axolemma. Neurilemma is absent in central nervous system. Neurilemma is necessary for the formation of myelin sheath (myelinogeneis).
The neurilemma is covered by WHAT loose connective tissue called the?
endoneurium
What forms a protective tunnel around the nerve fibers?
neurilemma
The neurilemma of axons in the peripheral nervous system is formed by?
schwann cells
The sheath around some neuron fibers that aids in regeneration?

What is another name for the sheath of schwann?
another name for the sheath of schwann is neurilemma.
