The role of Schwann cells in neurotransmission is to maintain the physical integrity of the synaptic junction.
Explanation:
The physical integrity of the synaptic junction is maintained by terminal Schwann cells, but they also carry receptors for neurotransmitters, allowing them to respond to neurotransmission. As a result, they release neuroactive chemicals that modulate synaptic transmission strength.
Thermal insulation of neuronal axons:
- Increase the action potential's speed. Limit the speed of the action potential to avoid harm to the neuronal axons.
Limit the speed of the action potential:
- Following the conclusion of the absolute refractory period of the preceding action potential, successive action potentials occur with very powerful stimuli.
Enhance the speed of the action potential:
- Glial cells surround axons with a membraneous sheath termed myelin, similar to the insulation around wires in electrical systems, shielding the axon.
Protect the neuro nal soma from trauma:
- The action potential cannot go backwards during the refractory period.
