Which Type of Glia Cell Produces Myelin for Cells in the Brain

Question

Which type of glia cell produces myelin for cells in the brain?
A) microglia
B) oligodendrocytes
C) astrocytes
D) neurolemma

Accepted Answer

Oligodendrocytes are the types of glia cells that produce myelin for cells in the brain. Microglia are involved in immune defense and astrocytes provide structural and nutritional support to neurons. Neurolemma is a term used to describe the outer layer of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system that produce myelin.
