Schwann cells are functionally similar to?
Schwann cells are functionally similar to oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. They both provide support and insulation to nerve fibers by forming a myelin sheath around them, which helps in the transmission of nerve signals. Schwann cells are found in the peripheral nervous system while oligodendrocytes are found in the central nervous system.
What two cells form the insulating sheaths around axons?
Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes
What are the description of schwann cells?
This questions has been answered below in the related discussions, "what are Schwann cells"
What type of tissue Contains schwann cells?
Nervous tissue contains Schwann cells. Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that help support and insulate axons in the peripheral nervous system by producing myelin.
After axonial injury regeneration in peripheral nerves is guided bywhat?
The Remaining Schwann Cells schwann cells, after injury and disruption to target, the remaining schwann cells undergo a rapid mitotic division until the target tissue is reached and the successful pathway is regenerated under the structural guidance of the schwann cells,
What female reproductive structure is functionally homologous to the testes?
The female reproductive organ that is functionally similar to the male testes is the ovaries. They store the female reproductive cells, the eggs. However, unlike the testes, they do not make the reproductive cells.
Which cells form myelin in the spinal cord?
They are called oligodendrocytes but in the peripheral nervous system you would call them schwann cells.
Who concluded all animal tissues that were made of cells?

What was Schwann conclusion about cells?
Schwann concluded that all living organisms are composed of cells. He also stated that cells are the basic units of structure and function in living organisms.
