Detailed explanation-1: -The classical cell theory was proposed by Theodor Schwann in 1839. There are three parts to this theory. The first part states that all organisms are made of cells. The second part states that cells are the basic units of life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Schwann concluded three things that became vital components of the cell theory. First, Schwann concluded that both plants and animals were composed of cells. Second, these cells have independent lives. Third, these independent lives are subject to the organism’s life.
Detailed explanation-3: -His research led to the discovery of the cell that produces the myelin sheath that envelops the axon. In honor of his contribution, this was later eponymously named the Schwann cell [3, 7, 9]. He also found that during embryonic development individual cells unite to form the muscle fiber [10].
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1838, German scientist Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants are made of cells. The next year Theodor Schwann, another German, concluded that all animals were also made of cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -The ideas of all three scientists-Schwann, Schleiden, and Virchow-led to cell theory, which is one of the fundamental theories unifying all of biology.
