Vallerian degeneration
A
Fix
B
.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Wallerian Degeneration can instigate a nerve repair mechanism. Managing nerve damage can include the use of :Cryotherapy, Exercise, Neurorehabilitation, and Surgery.

Detailed explanation-2: -Recovery by regeneration depends on the cellular and molecular events of Wallerian degeneration that injury induces distal to the lesion site, the domain through which severed axons regenerate back to their target tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nerve cells can regenerate and grow back at a rate of about an inch a month, but recovery is typically incomplete and slow. This is a complete nerve injury, where the nerve sheath and underlying neurons are severed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wallerian degeneration consists of the anterograde disintegration of axons and their transected myelin sheaths. The myelin sheaths are distorted and fragmented with absent, dense, or flocculent axoplasm. The astroglial scar eventually replaces the destroyed myelin sheath.

Detailed explanation-5: -Braces or splints. These devices keep the affected limb, fingers, hand or foot in the proper position to improve muscle function. Electrical stimulator. Stimulators can activate muscle served by an injured nerve while the nerve regrows. Physical therapy. Exercise. 10-May-2022
