They are called oligodendrocytes but in the peripheral nervous system you would call them schwann cells.

Do neurotransmitters form the myelin sheath?

No, not at all. The myelin sheaths are actually made by other living cells in the nervous system known as glia. Two types of glia myelinate the nervous system: oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. The oligodendrocytes for myelin in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system (everything outside the brain and spinal cord).


What the neuralgia cells that form the mylin sheaths?

Schwann Cells make the myelin found in the (PNS) Peripheral Nervous System. It also helps speed up neurotransmissions. I hope this was helpful. for the central nervous system (brain & spinal cord) oligodendrocytes form the myelin.

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


What nervous tissues cell line cavities of brain and spinal cord form and move CSF?

The nervous tissue that lines the cavities of the brain and spinal cord is formed by ependymal cells. These ciliated cells are part of the neuroglia and play a crucial role in producing and circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. The movement of CSF helps to cushion the brain, remove waste, and distribute nutrients.


What does the schwann cell form a myelin sheath around?

Schwann cells form a myelin sheath around peripheral nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system.


White matter of the spinal cord contains?

The H-shaped grey matter of the spinal cord contains motor neurons that control movement, smaller interneurons that handle communication within and between the segments of the spinal cord, and cells that receive sensory signals and then send information up to centers in the brain.
