Sympathetic

Question 2

Using two or three sentences, answer the following questions as concisely as possible.
-Describe the relationship between myelin and regeneration.

Accepted Answer

Some neurons outside the central nervous system have a white, fatty substance covering the axon called myelin. Myelin is arranged in bundles called Schwann cells. Layers of Schwann cells wrap around the axon, forming the myelin sheath. This sheath is covered with a membrane called the neurilemma. The neurilemma is believed to enable the axons to repair and regenerate themselves.
