Question

multiple choice question
which type of neuroglia produces the myelin sheaths in the peripheral nervous system?
satellite cells
oligodendrocytes
ependymal cells
schwann cells

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Schwann cells are the neuroglia that produce myelin sheaths in the peripheral nervous system. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the central nervous system. Satellite cells are associated with muscle repair and support in the peripheral nervous system but not myelin - sheath production. Ependymal cells line the ventricles of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord and are involved in cerebrospinal fluid production and circulation.

Answer:

Schwann cells
