Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oligodendrocytes make myelin in the central nervous system (CNS) while Schwann cells make myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Microglia are immune cells that help protect the CNS from injury and disease, and astrocytes are support cells that help regulate the environment around neurons. However, neither microglia nor astrocytes produce myelin.
