For people with a psychotic illness, or who have a predisposition to such an illness, the effects can be more serious and long-term. Psychotic illnesses are characterised by symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations and thought disorder. When people experience psychotic symptoms, they are unable to distinguish what is real â there is a loss of contact with reality. See also Factsheet 1: Psychosis.
Structure [edit]. Schwann cells are a variety of glial cell that keep peripheral nerve fibres (both myelinated and unmyelinated) alive. In myelinated axons, Schwann cells form the myelin sheath (see above). The sheath is not continuous.Individual myelinating Schwann cells cover about 100 micrometres of an axonâequating to approximately 10,000 Schwann cells along a 1 metre length of the axon.n this sense, Schwann cells are the peripheral nervous system's analogues of the central nervous system 's oligodendrocytes. However, unlike oligodendrocytes, each myelinating Schwann cell provides insulation to only one axon (see image).
enÂ·doÂ·neuÂ·riÂ·um. The innermost connective tissue supportive structure of nerve trunks, surrounding individual myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers; consists principally of ground substance, collagen, and fibroblasts; with the perineurium and epineurium, composes the peripheral nerve stroma.enle nervous layer-the layer of the retina from the outer plexiform to the nerve fiber layer inclusive. Synonym(s): entoretina. Henle reaction-dark brown staining of the medullary cells of the adrenal bodies when treated with the salts of chromium, the cortical cells remaining unstained.
