The myelin sheath that covers many CNS axons is formed by?

Oligodendrocytes


Specialized supporting cells in the CNS?

Specialized supporting cells in the central nervous system (CNS) include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia. Astrocytes provide metabolic and structural support, oligodendrocytes produce the myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers, and microglia are involved in immune responses and maintaining the health of the CNS.


What are the four types of neuroglia in the CNS?

The four types of neuroglia in the central nervous system (CNS) are astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and ependymal cells. Astrocytes provide structural support and regulate the chemical environment, oligodendrocytes produce myelin to insulate axons, microglia are the immune cells of the CNS, and ependymal cells line the ventricles and produce cerebrospinal fluid.


Regeneration within the CNS is what?

is prevented due to growth-inhibiting proteins of oligodendrocytes.


What type of neuroglia forms the myelin sheath?

oligodendrocytes for C.N.S. and shcwann cells for P.N.S.


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 type of glial cells produces the myelin sheaths that insulate axons or nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS)?

myelin sheath


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.


Which nervous system division are neurolemmocytes located?

Shwann Cells-PNS Oligodendrocytes-CNS Both form the neurolemma


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


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


Which type of neuraglia secretes myelin in the cns?

Oligodendrocytes are the type of neuroglia in the CNS that secrete myelin. They wrap around axons to provide insulation and facilitate faster nerve signal conduction.
