1.Schwann cells serve as the myelinating cell of the PNS

2.it support cells of peripheral neurons.

3.it forms a myelin sheath by wrapping its plasma membrane concentrically around the inner axon.

4.it helps to separate and insulate nerve cells.

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 .

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.

Answer:

1) B - protein channel

2) D - to assist in the movement of substances across the membrane by facilitated diffusion or active transport

Explanation:

1) B is the answer because the proteins would travel through the protein channel to enter or leave the cell.

2) D is the answer because the channel allows protein molecules to pass through a selectively permeable cell membrane through active transport and facilitated diffusion.

Hope this helps!
