Answer:

Schwann cells or neurilemma cells are the cells which form the myelin sheath around neuronal axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) only.

Neurilemma is the collective term used for cytoplasm and nuclei present around the myelin sheath which helps in the regeneration process of nerves.

A Schwann cell surrounds the axon, invaginate it and the plasmalemma of the Schwann cells joins and from a double membrane structure called mesaxon. This mesaxon starts wrapping the axon in spiral fashion and cytoplasm start condensing into the compact myelin sheath.

How a plant cell and all its organelle functions to help a tree or plant survive, adapt and reproduce?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

A plant cell is illustrated as a cell that comprises nucleus and organelles enveloped by a rigid and thick cell wall. The functions of the organelles are as follows:  

1. Cell membrane: It safeguards the cell and monitors the molecules leaving and entering the cell.  

2. Cytoplasm: It assists in holding the organelles of the cells in place.  

3. Cell wall: It is the main safeguarding barrier of the plant cells.  

4. Chloroplast: It transforms sunlight into energy by a procedure known as photosynthesis.  

5. Cytoskeleton: It provides structural support for the cell.  

6. Ribosome: It builds protein for the cell to utilize.  

7. Nucleus: It stores the DNA and coordinates the activities of the cell, mainly it acts as brain.  

8. Mitochondria: It convert oxygen and nutrients into energy.  

9. Lysosomes: It dissociate waste into basic components for other organelles to function.  

10. Endoplasmic reticulum: It transports and manufactures chemical components to and from the nucleus.  

11. Peroxisomes: It digests toxic substances in the cell.  

12. Golgi Apparatus: It transforms proteins and fats built in the cell and transports them outside the cell or prepares them for storage.  

13. Plasmodesmata: It allows communication and transport of substances to the nearby cells.  

14. Vacuole: It stores waste components and sustains the level of pH of the cell.  

15. Vesicle: It conducts substances within the cell and help in storing enzyme s.
