Question

which of the following characteristics is common to oligodendrocytes and schwann cells? multiple choice both form a myelin sheath around a single axon. both are located in the cns. both provide myelination. both can interact with multiple cells.

Explanation:

Oligodendrocytes in the central - nervous system (CNS) and Schwann cells in the peripheral - nervous system (PNS) both provide myelination. Oligodendrocytes can myelinate multiple axons, while Schwann cells myelinate a single axon. Schwann cells are in the PNS, not the CNS.

Answer:

C. Both provide myelination.
