What are the three connective tissue sheaths that cover the nerves in the PNS? Epineurium: Surrounds the entire nerve, Perineurium: surrounds bundle of fibers. Endoneurium: surrounds each axon or fiber.
What is special about the PNS but not the CNS? Schwann cells and connective tissue sheaths are important for the regeneration of damaged axons in the PNS. They guide the the growth cones from the axomal stump back to the target tissue. There are no connective tissue sheaths surrounding axons in CNS.
WHat is special about the PNS but not the CNS? Therefore, Axons in the CNS do not regenerate and it if the axon stump or connective tissue is cut there is a loss of function.
