| 1. | In the CNS, axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes, thus lack neurolemma.
|
| 2. | Neurolemma serves a protective function for peripheral nerve fibers.
|
| 3. | The neurolemma forms a regeneration tube through which the growing axon reestablishes its original connection.
|
| 4. | The nerve fiber's neurolemma does not degenerate and remains as a hollow tube.
|
| 5. | Damaged nerve fibers may regenerate if the perikaryon is not damaged and the neurolemma remains intact.
|
| 6. | The neurolemma is underlain by the basal lamina ( referred to as the medullary sheath in the included illustrations ).
|
| 7. | The myelin sheaths of Oligodendrocytes do not have neurolemma because excess cytoplasm is directed centrally toward the Oligodendrocyte cell body.
|
| 8. | A layer of connective tissue called the neurolemma covers the brain, ganglia, major peripheral nerves and ventral nerve cords.
