In the Peripheral Nervous System,neuroglia Called __________________ Form the Myelin

Question

In the peripheral nervous system,neuroglia called __________________ form the myelin sheath.
A) companion cells
B) oligodendrocytes
C) Schwann cells
D) alpha cells
E) trigger cells

Accepted Answer

Schwann cells are the neuroglia in the peripheral nervous system that form the myelin sheath around axons. Oligodendrocytes are the neuroglia that form the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. Companion cells and alpha cells do not have a role in myelination, and trigger cells are not a known type of neuroglia.
