Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cells that produce myelin in the central nervous system are called oligodendrocytes. Schwann cells are responsible for myelination in the peripheral nervous system. Ranvier cells are gaps in myelin sheaths where axons are exposed, and astrocytes have numerous roles including providing structural support and regulating the chemical environment of the brain.
