Fred has suffered a spinal cord injury and is looking into possible treatments.What area of research is offering a lot of promise?
A) Schwann cells and their ability to regenerate neuron axons in the PNS
B) efferent fibres that can re-grow with prolonged, mild electrical stimulation
C) diverting spinal reflexes to generate voluntary movement
D) stem cells that increase the myelin production around the spinal cord

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schwann cells have shown promise in regenerating neuron axons in the peripheral nervous system, and there is ongoing research into their potential use in spinal cord injury treatment.

Answer: D
 Stem cells have shown potential in increasing myelin production around the spinal cord, which could aid in the recovery of spinal cord injuries. However, this area of research is still in the early stages and more studies are needed to determine their effectiveness.

Therefore, either answer A or D can be considered the best choice.
