As a result of a mechanical injury an over 10 cm long portion of a peripheral nerve was damaged. This caused an impairment of the upper limb activity. The patient was offered nerve transplantation. What glial cells will participate in regeneration and provide the trophism of the injured limb?
- A. Microglia
- B. Fibrous cells
- C. Schwann cells
- D. Ependymal cells
- E. Protoplasmic cells
Hint
Distinguish glial cells of the peripheral nervous system from those of the brain and spinal cord, then choose the one that supports a regenerating nerve fibre.
