Question

A team of researchers is working on a new procedure that could result in the regrowth of neurons in the spinal cord. With which part of the nervous system is the team most concerned?

Answer 1

Answer:

The axons and the myelin sheath

Depending on the degree of injury,for the first two categories of nervous injury neuropraxia and axonotomesis, the myelin sheath and axons are usually severed not the cell body. The interest of the researchers will be to then increase growth and rate of regeneration of the axons which is usually 1mm per day
