Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurilemma is the outermost layer of the axon in peripheral nerves, and it plays an important role in nerve regeneration. In Juan's case, the quick sewn back of his toe could have allowed the neurilemma of his nerves to start regenerating, which could have helped him regain function and feeling in his toe. Myelin (A) is responsible for insulation and faster transmission of nerve impulses but is not directly involved in regeneration. Glial cells (B) provide support and nutrition to neurons but also do not play a significant role in regeneration. Dendrites (C) are the receiving end of neurons and are not involved in regeneration.
