Neurons are structurally different types: unipolar, bipolar and multipolar in anatomy. Glial cells are also 4 different types in CNS (central nervous system) and 2 different types in PNS (peripheral nervous system). Each neuron is an elongated ce...
Schwann cell, any of the cells in the peripheral nervous system that produce the myelin sheath around neuronal axons. These cells are equivalent to a type of neuroglia called oligodendrocytes, which occur in the central nervous system. Learn more about S
Theodor Schwann, German physiologist who founded modern histology by defining the cell as the basic unit of animal structure. He also coined the term ‘metabolism’ for the chemical changes that take place in living tissue and formulated the basic princi
2. Origins of the PNS, Glial Cell Types and Their Functions Most of the cells that make up the PNS, such as neurons and Schwann cells (SC), originate from the multipotent [8] neural crest (NC) cells. In fact, all glial cells of the PNS are of NC origin [9,10], while peripheral...
