Q

What is the function of perineurium

A

Binds together bundles of axons to form fascicles

17
Q

What is the function of epineurium

A

Binds fascicles together to form nerve fibres

18
Q

What is a neurovascular bundle

A

A nerve, arteriole and venule

19
Q

How is myelin produced in the PNS

A

A spiral of opposed Schwann cell membranes

An individual Schwann cell wraps around an individual axon multiple times to produce myelin

20
Q

What are the gaps between Schwann cells

A

Nodes of Ranvier

21
Q

What is the difference between myelinated axons and non myelinated axons

A

Multiple Non myelinated axons are supported by one Schwann cell
Myelinated axons are supported by only one Schwann cell at a time

22
Q

Where are the cell bodies of lower motor neurones

A

Grey matter if spinal cord

23
Q

Where are sensory nerve cell bodies

A

Dorsal root ganglion
