Which statement about axonotmesis is incorrect?

Show Answers

Both sensory and motor functions are affectedWallerian degeneration occursThe neural sheath remains damaged and not preservedThe injury is reversible and typically regenerates within 6 to 8 weeks

Explanation

Axonotmesis involves damage to the axon with preservation of the neural sheath, allowing for regeneration. Sensory and motor functions are impaired, and Wallerian degeneration takes place. The neural sheath remains intact, facilitating recovery usually within 6 to 8 weeks. Therefore, the statement that the neural sheath is not intact is false.
