Axonotmesis includes discontinuity in:
a. Perineuriumb. Epineurium
c. Endoneurium
d. Axon
e. Myelin sheath
Ans : (D)
Axon ; (E) Myelin sheath
• Axonotmesis is characterized by axonal and myelin sheath
damage that results in loss of continuity with the cell body and its end organ.
There is preservation of the
endoneurium, perineurium, and epineuriurn. This type of nerve damage may
cause paralysis of the motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. If the force
creating the nervedamage is removed in a timely fashion, the axon may
regenerate, leading to recovery.
