1
Q
What are Bands of Bungner?
A
Rows of Schwann cells that guide axons to target
2
Q
Why can’t oligos. cause regeneration in the CNS?
A
They are different as they make inhibitory myelin to axon growth
3
Q
What is the TF that when expressed inhibits axon growth?
A
NOGO
4
Q
What happens when an antibody is produced against NOGO?
A
Axons have no inhibition
5

Neural ectoderm
6
Q
What does the lens derive from?
A
Surface ectoderm
7

What does the retina form from?
A
An outgrowth of the diencephalon
8
Q
What parts of the eye are constantly regenerated?
