The neurilemma is the Schwann cell. This helps with regeneration of cells. The nerve cells in the brain do not have neurilemma and therefore, cannot regenerate.

What is the sheath of the Schwann Cell also called?
Surrounding the myelin sheath, there is a thin membrane called neurilemmal sheath. This is also called neurilemma or sheath of Schwann. This contains Schwann cells, which have flattened and elongated nuclei. The cytoplasm is thin and modified to form the thin sheath of neurilemma enclosing the myelin sheath. One nucleus is present in each internode of the axon. The nucleus is situated between myelin sheath adn neurilemma. At the node of Ranvier (where myelin sheath is absent), the neurilemma invaginates and runs up to axolemma in the form of a finger like process. In nonmyelinated nerve fiber, the neurilemma continuously surrounds axolemma. Neurilemma is absent in central nervous system. Neurilemma is necessary for the formation of myelin sheath (myelinogeneis).
What cells will not continue to divide skin cell nerve cell epithelial cells lining the cheeks all of these?
Nerve cells will most likely NOT continue to divide.
Are nerve cells smarter then other cells?
no nerve cells are like a chain one feeels it passes the signal to the next all the way up to your brain
The association nerve cells relay information from sensory nerve cells to motor nerve cells?
True. A+
Why don't all plant cells look the same?
By definition, all human cells are animal cells. Different cells look different from others, no matter the organism. A human nerve looks almost identical to a nerve from a chimp, but a human nerve looks nothing like a cell from a chimp's muscles.
What forms a protective tunnel around the nerve fibers?
neurilemma

What do the bodies of Schwann cells make up?
The neurilemma
What are the two coverings of a nerve cell?
One is the Myelin Sheath, the other I would assume is the Neurilemma.
The neurilemma of axons in the peripheral nervous system is formed by?
schwann cells
What is a group of nerve cells called?
A group of nerve cells all together is called a ganglion. These nerve cells are linked by synapses and attach to a nerve fiber.
How can you use nerve cells in a sentence?
Nerve cells are a part of the nervous system. There are nerve cells all around the body. Without nerve cells your body would not function the way it does.
What is the neurilemma and what is it function?
the plasma membrane surrounding a Schwann cell of a myelinated nerve fiber and separating layers of myelin
How are human smooth muscle cells similar to human nerve cells?
All muscle cells and nerve cells use an action potential and also obey the all-or-none law
Is your cell an organism or apart of an organism Nerve Cell?
All your cells are part of you, and you are an organism. Nerve cells are included.
What cells in the peripheral nervous system that form a covering around axons?
Schwann cells wrap around the AXONS of peripheral neurons.
How often do nerve and muscle cells divide?
Muscles cells can undergo mitosis, but almost all nerve cells will not. This is true within the body and even when isolated and put into culture.
