Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
Theodor Schwann was a German biologist who is known for his work in cell theory. He co-developed the cell theory, which states that all living organisms are composed of cells. Schwann specifically focused on animal cells and their structure.
he discovered that all animals have cells
Many different scientists were involves in the discovery of the cell and how all organisms are made up of different cells.
The cell theory, which states that all living organisms are composed of cells, was proposed by Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann in the 1830s. Rudolf Virchow later added to the theory by stating that cells can only arise from preexisting cells.
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.
A schwann cell are supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system, they wrap themselves around nerve axons.
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.

The perikaryon (cell body) is the neuron central part, to other neurons or directly to muscles or glands. These sheaths are composed of cell membranes from Schwann cells.

Scheliden and Schwann
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.
Theodor Schwann was a German physiologist who formulated the cell doctrine, which states that "All living things are composed of cells and cell products". His theories and observations became the foundation of modern histology.
