How do Schwann cells and astrocytes differ?
A+ Students - myelin sheath A Schwann cell is a particular type of neuroglial cell, found only in the peripheral nervous system. Schwann cells produce the myelin sheath, which insulates the axons of bodily nerves, increasing the signal velocity.
Formed by schwann cells in the PNS?
Myelin sheath
What surrounds the axon?
Some but not all axons are covered with Schwann's cells which are filled with myelin.
Formation of Myelin Sheath and also Neuron introduction?
The formation of myelin sheath around the axon is called the myelinogenesis. In the peripheral nerve, the myelinogenesis starts at 4th month of intrauterine life. It is completed only in the second year after birth. Before myelinogeneis, Schwann cells of the neurilemma are very close to axolemma as in the case of unmyelinated nerve fiber. The membrane of the schwann cell is double layered. The schwann cells wrap up and rotate around the axis cylinder in many concentric layers. The concentric layers fuse to produce the myelin sheath but the cytoplasm of the cells is not deposited. Outermost membrane of Schwann cell remains as neurilemma. Nucleus of these cells remains in between myelin sheath and neurilemma. In the central nervous system, the schwann cells are absent and the myelin sheath is formed by the neuroglial cells called the oligodendroglia.
What are specialized coverings of the axon?
Myelin covers the axon to protect it and help messages travel faster. Two types of cells produce myelin, the oligodendrocytes in the CNS and Schwann cells in the PNS.
What type of cells produce the myelin sheath in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells both produce myelin. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the CNS, whereas Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS. CNS refers to central nervous system PNS refers to peripheral nervous system

Myelin is a lipid insulation produced by the?
Oligodendrocytes are specialized neurolgical cells that produce myelin sheath.
What are swann cells?
Schwann cells are cells that surround the axons (nerve fibre) of neurons providing the myelin sheath. They are associated with neurons in the peripheral nervous system.
What is neuroglial cells that form the fatty myelin sheath on the neurons of the brain and spinal cord called?
Schwann cells (PNS)
Cells that produce myelin for cells outside the brain and spinal cord are the?
Schwann cells
Which cells produce myelin for cells outside the brain and spinal cord?
schwann cells
How is myelin formed within the central nervous system?
The glial cells that surround the neurons produce myelin.
What produce myelin in the brain and spinal cord?
Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the brain and spinal cord. This process is known as myelination and the myelin will warp itself around the neurons.
What are schwann cell nucleus'?
myelin sheath peace.love.faith
What is capable of synthesizing myelin?
schwann cells
What creates the myelin sheath in the PNS?
Schwann cells make the myelin sheath in the PNS. Each of the Schwann cells myelinate their own segment of the axon, they work together to make the myelin sheath.
