Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Explanation: IRT is a type of internal radiation therapy.

Answer to Question 2

In the PNS there are two types of sheaths: myelinated and unmyelinated, which are formed by accessory cells. Myelinated fibers have an inner sheath of myelin, a thick fatty substance, as well as an outer sheath, or neurilemma, composed of Schwann cells. Unmyelinated fibers lack myelin and are only sheathed by the neurilemma.
