Nerve cells in the peripheral nervous system that wrap around nerve fibers with myelin.
specialized cell in peripheral nerves that wrap around an axon to form a multilayered membrane sheath.
Specialized glial cells that form the myelin sheath that coats many axons. Cells surrounding the axons of some neurons, thus forming the myelin sheath.
Non-nerve cells in the peripheral nervous system, similar to oligodendrocytes in the central nerve system, which wrap around axons to create a protective layer of myelin. They also may promote nerve regeneration following an injury.
A type of cell that surrounds and forms the myelin coat around neurons outside of the brain and spinal cord (in the peripheral nervous system). Transplanting Schwann cells into injured spinal cord can stimulate growth of damaged axons and restore myelin.
Responsible in the peripheral nervous system for myelinating axons they also provide trophic support in injury situation.
Large cells that are wrapped around certain nerve axons to form a myelin sheath, which serves to facilitate the conduction of nerve impulses along the axon.
a neuroglial cell outside the CNS that wraps its membrane around axons during development to produce the insulating myelin sheath that envelopes peripheral axons in the regions between nodes of Ranvier
cells producing myelin in the nervous system.
Neuroglia responsible for the neurilemma that surrounds axons in the peripheral nervous system.
Cells which form the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system
