Myelin sheath
Schwann cells are the specialized cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that are capable of forming a regeneration tube to guide a severed peripheral axon during the process of regeneration. This process allows for potential regrowth and repair of damaged nerves in the PNS.

1) starting with the obvious; oligodendrocytes myelinate axons in the CNS whereas schwann cells myelinate axons in the PNS 2) a single oligodendrocyte is able to myelinate multiple axons whereas a schwann cell can only myelinate a single axon. 3) schwann cell myelination allows for axonal grown and regeneration where as oligodendrocytes inhibit axonal growth and regeneration. 4).... and probably a bunch more differences
In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which wrap their extensions around the axons of nerve cells. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), myelin is produced by Schwann cells, which wrap around the axons in a spiral fashion. Myelin sheaths in both systems help to insulate and speed up the transmission of nerve impulses.
Satellite cells are only found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). These cells provide support and nutrients to the neurons in the PNS.
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
satellite cells and schwann cells
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.
In the peripheral nervous system otherwise known as the PNS.
No, in the PNS, or peripheral nervous system.
Schwann cells and satellite cells are neuroglial cells located in the PNS
schwann cells
Schwann cells (PNS)
Schwann cells are the specialized cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that are capable of forming a regeneration tube to guide a severed peripheral axon during the process of regeneration. This process allows for potential regrowth and repair of damaged nerves in the PNS.
There are 6 different types CNS: astrocytes, microglia, ependymal, and oligodendrocytes, PNS: satellite cells, and schwann cells

The Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers. These cells wrap around the nerve fibers to provide insulation and support for faster nerve impulse conduction.
