Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oligodendroglial cells are glial cells that produce myelin in the central nervous system.

Answer: E
 The myelin sheath is the fatty material produced by glial cells (oligodendroglia in the CNS and Schwann cells in the PNS) that surrounds and insulates axons, allowing for faster transmission of electrical signals.
