Chapter 12, Problem 10RQ

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The two types of neuroglia that insulate neuron cell bodies and axons in the peripheral nervous system from their surroundings.

Concept introduction:

The two types of the neuroglia in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) include the satellite cells and the schwann cells. The satellite cells regulate the concentration of the interstitial fluid. The schwann cells form a myelin sheath of lipids around the neurons for the efficient conduction of the impulse waves.
