Schwann Cells Explained: Structure, Function, and Their Role in the Nervous System

Dive into the fascinating world of Schwann cells with this detailed lecture! Schwann cells, essential components of the peripheral nervous system, play a pivotal role in forming myelin sheaths around axons, ensuring efficient nerve signal transmission. In this video, we explore:

The structure and types of Schwann cells.
Their functions, including myelination and nerve regeneration.
The difference between myelinated and unmyelinated Schwann cells.
Their role in conditions like Guillain-Barré syndrome and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Join us for this insightful session and strengthen your understanding of these critical nervous system cells. Perfect for medical students, researchers, and enthusiasts!
