Chapter 13, Problem 24CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The cells that were vital for Bill's recovery as his femoral nerve was crushed. Clinicians tried to control his blood and it leads in the loss of function along with the sensation in his leg.
Introduction:
Injury to the nervous tissue is known to be serious as the mature neurons do not have the ability to divide. In case the damage is severe then the whole neuron dies and other neurons, which are normally regulated by its axon they may die too.
