schwann cells serve as the myelinating cell of the PNS and support cells of peripheral neurons . A schwann cell forms a myelin sheath bt wrapping it's plasma membrane concentrically around the inner axon .

STRUCTURE

schwann cells are variety of glial cells that keep peripheral neuron fibres ( both myelinating and unmyelinating ) alive .In myelinated axons , schwann cells form the myelin sheath . The sheath is not continuous

FUNCTION

one of the most important function of the schwann cells is to myelinate the axons of the PNS . myelin whuch is a fatty layer thst insulates the axon , helps to increase the saltatory condunction of neuron . A myelinating schwann cells wraps around a single axon.

hope this ans help you .

thankyou

Answer:

Fibrous

Explanation:

Proteins are assembled according to their functions. Fibrous proteins usually provide protection and support to cells. They are made up of polypeptides that have elongated shape and assembles in large cables or threads. These proteins are differentiated from globular proteins by their globular form and repeated units of amino acids.

For example the fibrous proteins involved in horns, hair and nails is alpha-keratin.  Elastin found in skin and ligament is also a fibrous protein. Collagen includes collagen fibrils that have tensile strength of steel is also a fibrous protein found in cartilages and bones.
