Which of the following is a key factor that contributes to the struggle of axonal regeneration in the CNS?
All of the above
What is one reason why injured axons in the PNS have a remarkable capacity for rapid regeneration?
Efficient phagocytosis of myelin debris by oligodendrocytes
What is the primary reason for the delay in debris clearance in the CNS?
Limited ability of oligodendrocytes to phagocytose myelin debris
Test your knowledge on axonal regeneration in the nervous system with this quiz. Explore the contrasting abilities of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the central nervous system (CNS) when it comes to axonal regeneration. Learn about the factors that hinder axonal regrowth in the CNS and discover the remarkable regenerative capacity of the PNS. Challenge your understanding of oligodendrocytes, microglia cells, and other critical factors that play a role in axonal regeneration.
