Question

multiple choice question
the cells that are responsible for wrapping around axons, creating myelin sheaths in the pns, are______
-
o satellite cells
o ependymal cells
o oligodendrocytes
o schwann cells

Explanation:

• Satellite cells: Support neurons in ganglia, not for myelination in PNS.
• Ependymal cells: Line ventricles and central canal, produce cerebro - spinal fluid.
• Oligodendrocytes: Myelinate axons in CNS.
• Schwann cells: Wrap around axons in PNS to form myelin sheaths.

Answer:

Schwann cells.
