Is mylean sheath the same as neurilemma-?

Yes, the mylean sheath is the same as the neurilemma.


Do all nerve cells have a neurilemma?

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 Schwann called?

Its the Neurilemma.


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 do the bodies of Schwann cells make up?

Function of neurilemma in nerve cell regeneration?

Neurolemma is just an outer shell of the myelin sheath, it's function is to protect a myelinated cell from injury and aid in its healing from injury by allowing information to travel faster to the brain that an unmyelinated cell.
