Which of the following cells is most responsible for aiding in this regulation? a)satellite cells b)oligodendrocytes c)Schwann cells d)astrocytes.

Answer 1

Answer: the correct option is C the Schwann cells

Explanation:

After an injury to some peripheral nerve cells example the axon, The injured neurone activate a variety of signalling pathways which turn on pro growth genes leading to its reformation. The reformation of these neurone is governed by chemotactic factors secreted from Schwann cells.
