use the diagrams above to answer the following questions.
identify which diagram represents a cell that produces a myelin sheath in the central nervous system.
a
b
c
d
e

Explanation:

To determine the cell producing myelin in the central nervous system (CNS), we recall: Oligodendrocytes (in CNS) produce myelin. Schwann cells (peripheral) and other cells (like astrocytes, ependymal) have different roles. Diagram C likely represents an oligodendrocyte (branching, CNS myelin - producing cell). Other diagrams: A/Schwann (PNS), B/neuron, D/ependymal, E/Schwann - like or other. So the correct diagram is C.

Answer:

C
