characteristics of myelin are
□ produced by oligodendrocytes
□ speeds up nerve impulse conduction
□ produced by schwann cells
□ found only in the spinal cord
□ found only in the brain

Explanation:

Myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous - system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. It speeds up nerve impulse conduction through saltatory conduction. Myelin is found in both the brain and the spinal cord as well as in the peripheral nervous system.

Answer:

• speeds up nerve impulse conduction
• produced by Schwann cells
