Question

Certain details about Mr. Roosevelt's case call into question whether he really suffered from polio. The pathological features that Mr. Roosevelt experienced were much more characteristic of Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disease that involves the demyelination of peripheral nerves. Which neuroglia cells form the myelin sheath of motor nerves?

Answer 1

Schwann cells form the myelin sheath of motor nerves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The neuroglia cells that form the myelin sheath of motor nerves are called Schwann cells. Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that wraps around the axons of motor neurons in the peripheral nervous system, providing insulation and support.

In the case of Guillain-Barré syndrome, the destruction of the myelin sheath by autoimmune processes leads to demyelination of peripheral nerves.
