The myelin sheath that covers many CNS axons is formed by?
Oligodendrocytes
Which neuroglial cell is responsible for the production of myelin sheaths around axons in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocyte; processes of the oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheaths around the CNS nerve fibers
Which nervous system division are neurolemmocytes located?
Shwann Cells-PNS Oligodendrocytes-CNS Both form the neurolemma
Are nerves more myelinated or unmyelinated in the CNS?
Nope. They can be found in the PNS as well. The myelinated ones in the CNS are made my Schwann cells. And the ones made in the PNS are made by oligodendrocytes.
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
The myelin sheath that covers many CNS axons is formed by?
Oligodendrocytes
What are the four types of neuroglia in the CNS?
Astrocytes, Microglia, Ependymal cells, and Oligodendrocytes
The white matter of the CNS represents a region dominated by the presence of?
Oligodendrocytes
Regeneration within the CNS is what?
is prevented due to growth-inhibiting proteins of oligodendrocytes.
Which neuroglial cell is responsible for the production of myelin sheaths around axons in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocyte; processes of the oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheaths around the CNS nerve fibers
Specialized supporting cells in the CNS?
The neuroglia ("nerve glue"), or glial cells, which in the CNS include Astrocytes, Ependymal cells, Microglia, and Oligodendrocytes.
Which glial cells provide structural metabolic support for neurons?
CNS = Oligodendrocytes PNS = Schwann cells
Which type of glial cells produces the myelin sheaths that insulate axons or nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS)?
myelin sheath
What does astrocytes oligodendrocytes and microglia have in common?
they are all non neuron cells that serve to maintain the CNS in their different ways
Which nervous system division are neurolemmocytes located?
Shwann Cells-PNS Oligodendrocytes-CNS Both form the neurolemma

Nope. They can be found in the PNS as well. The myelinated ones in the CNS are made my Schwann cells. And the ones made in the PNS are made by oligodendrocytes.
