Question

Within the PNS, a neuron will regenerate only if:

a) the cell body remains intact.
b) scar tissue is removed by phagocytosis.
c) the neuron was myelinated.
d) the surrounding neuroglia regenerate first.

Answer 1

In the PNS, a neuron will regenerate only if the cell body remains intact.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), a neuron will regenerate only if the cell body remains intact. The cell body contains the nucleus and organelles necessary for cell division and regrowth. If the cell body is damaged, the neuron cannot regenerate.
