Q

Wallerian degeneration

A

Damage to peripheral nerve axon due to trauma, severe pressure etc
Distal to where axon is interrupted
Phagocytosed by macrophages
Proximal part of axon and peripheral nerve cell body remain intact

Q

Axonal degeneration

A

Damage to axon, cell body or peripheral nerve
Due to metabolic and toxics
Can regain if the cause is removed without destroying axonal integrity
