sciatic nerve but not through the optic nerve demonstrates that
a. adult retinal ganglion cells cannot remake growth cones.
O b. only neurons whose cell bodies are in the PNS can regrow.
c. neurons in the CNS are capable of remaking axons, but the CNS
environment blocks their regrowth.
O d. neurons in the CNS cannot regrow their axons.
e. All of the above are correct
The nerve transection performed by Sir Henry Head on himself found
that
O a. general sensitivity to pressure and touch was regained last.
O b. fine motor control was regained first.
O c. the severed nerves were completed regenerated within two
years.
O d. different neurons regrew axons and made new synapses at
different times after the surgery.
O e. None of the above are correct
