Regeneration within the CNS___________ .
A) typically allows axonal sprouting of 20 mm
B) is promoted by growth inhibitors and glial scars
C) is more successful than with the PNS

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regeneration within the CNS is prevented due to growth-inhibiting proteins of oligodendrocytes. Unlike the PNS, regeneration within the CNS is limited due to the presence of growth inhibitors and glial scars. The axonal sprouting within the CNS is typically limited to a few millimeters only.
