What cells make up the mylin sheath?

There are two cells that are involved in the myelin sheath. One type is found in the central nervous system (CNS) and the other is in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).These are the oligodendrocytes (CNS) and Schwann cells (PNS).


What cell produces the myelin in peripheral nerves?

Schwann cells produce myelin in peripheral nerves. Schwann cells wrap around the axon of a neuron to form the myelin sheath, which helps to insulate and speed up the conduction of nerve impulses.
