schwann cells
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
Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes
This questions has been answered below in the related discussions, "what are Schwann cells"
Nerves are formed in a late stage of development, when some of the cells composing the nerve cord and the brain send out long fibers bound together in bundles (nerves).
Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
The Remaining Schwann Cells schwann cells, after injury and disruption to target, the remaining schwann cells undergo a rapid mitotic division until the target tissue is reached and the successful pathway is regenerated under the structural guidance of the schwann cells,
Schliden, Schwann, and Virchow.
They are called oligodendrocytes but in the peripheral nervous system you would call them schwann cells.
