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.
