What did virchowschleidan and schwann each contribute to the cell theory?
The name of the theory that Schleiden and Schwann developed is the cell theory.
Which structure of a bacteria cell performs a similar function to the skin of a human?
The structure of a bacteria cell that performs a similar function to the skin of a human is the cell wall.
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.
How are the function of the cytoskeleton and the wall similar?
The cytoskeleton is responsible for the shape of the cell. The cell wall is similar. in that it is also responsible for the shape of a cell in the cytoskeleton.
How do the gates function in a similar way to a cell membrane?
Gates function in a similar way to a cell membrane because they regulate entry and exit of people into homes just like the cell membrane controls movement of substances into and out of the cell.
Is the schwann cell a plant cell?
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.
What is a schwann cell?
A schwann cell are supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system, they wrap themselves around nerve axons.
What is the neurilemma and what is it function?
the plasma membrane surrounding a Schwann cell of a myelinated nerve fiber and separating layers of myelin
What did virchowschleidan and schwann each contribute to the cell theory?
The name of the theory that Schleiden and Schwann developed is the cell theory.
What is another name for schwann cell?
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.
Which structure of a bacteria cell performs a similar function to the skin of a human?
The structure of a bacteria cell that performs a similar function to the skin of a human is the cell wall.
Who studied plant cell?
Schwann
Group of similar cells that perform a similar function?
tissues are group of cell that perform a specific similar function.
Who was Schwann?
The German biologist Theodor Schwann (1810-1882) is considered a founder of the cell theory.
The schwann cell forms a Myelin Sheath around what part of the nerve?
The Schwann cell forms a myelin sheath around the axon of the nerve.
How are the function of the cytoskeleton and the cell wall similar?
A cell wall and cytoskeleton are similar because they both act like a barrier for the cell
How many axons can a single Schwann cell myelinate?
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.
