6 Questions
Which cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) produce myelin proteins?
Schwann cells
What happens to the fragments of old myelin after axon injury in the PNS?
They are rapidly removed by Schwann cells and macrophages
What happens to the production of inhibitory proteins by Schwann cells after axon injury in the PNS?
It stops completely
Which of the following best describes objective data?
Data that can be seen, heard, felt, or smelled
What are signs or overt data?
Data that can be seen, heard, felt, or smelled
Which of the following is an example of objective data?
A discoloration of the skin
Test your knowledge on Schwann cell function and their role in axon regeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Learn about the production of myelin proteins, removal of old myelin fragments, and the rapid changes in Schwann cell behavior after axon injury.
