∙ 7y ago
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells both produce myelin. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the CNS, whereas Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS.
CNS refers to central nervous system
PNS refers to peripheral nervous system

It insulates the axon of the neuron?
An insulating layer that surrounds the axon is a myelin sheath.
The Schwann cell forms a myelin sheath around the?
axon of a neuron in the peripheral nervous system.Schwann cells form a myelin sheath around the Axon.
What are the membranes that cover the organs of the central nervous system called?
All of the nerves in the human body are covered in an insulating sheath called myelin.
What cells make up the mylin sheath?
There are two cells that are involved in the myelin sheath. One type is found in the central nervous system (CNS) and the other is in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).These are the oligodendrocytes (CNS) and Schwann cells (PNS).
What is the sheath of the Schwann Cell also called?
Surrounding the myelin sheath, there is a thin membrane called neurilemmal sheath. This is also called neurilemma or sheath of Schwann. This contains Schwann cells, which have flattened and elongated nuclei. The cytoplasm is thin and modified to form the thin sheath of neurilemma enclosing the myelin sheath. One nucleus is present in each internode of the axon. The nucleus is situated between myelin sheath adn neurilemma. At the node of Ranvier (where myelin sheath is absent), the neurilemma invaginates and runs up to axolemma in the form of a finger like process. In nonmyelinated nerve fiber, the neurilemma continuously surrounds axolemma. Neurilemma is absent in central nervous system. Neurilemma is necessary for the formation of myelin sheath (myelinogeneis).
It insulates the axon of the neuron?
An insulating layer that surrounds the axon is a myelin sheath.
Are Schwann cells found in the central nervous system?
myelin sheath
What forms myelin sheath?
The glial cells: oligodendrocytes for central nervous system and schwann cells for peripheral nervous system.
What creates myelin sheath?
Oligodendrocytes are specialized neurolgical cells that produce myelin sheath.
The role of the myelin sheath?
it I a receptor so it gets a message then send that message to the CNS (central Nervous System)
What are the Ascending pathways of the central nervous system composed of?
The Ascending pathways of the central nervous system is made of "White Matter." (Vast amount of Axons coated with a sheath of Myelin)
The Schwann cell forms a myelin sheath around the?
axon of a neuron in the peripheral nervous system.Schwann cells form a myelin sheath around the Axon.
What are the membranes that cover the organs of the central nervous system called?
All of the nerves in the human body are covered in an insulating sheath called myelin.
How does a myelin sheath form?
The myelin sheath is an extruded plasma membrane wrapped in a spiral fashion around a nerve axon. The myelin membranes are part of the Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system.
Which type of glial cells produces the myelin sheaths that insulate axons or nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS)?
myelin sheath
What protects the myelin sheath?
The myelin sheath, an insulating layer around the axon of a neuron, is mainly made up of H20 (40%); the dry mass of myelin is made up of mostly lipids (70 - 80%), and the rest is proteins (30 - 15%). There are three types of myelin protein, one of which is myelin basic protein. The lipid that mostly makes up myelin is called galactocerebroside.
What cells make up the mylin sheath?
There are two cells that are involved in the myelin sheath. One type is found in the central nervous system (CNS) and the other is in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).These are the oligodendrocytes (CNS) and Schwann cells (PNS).
