Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The central function of oligodendrocytes is to generate myelin, which is an extended membrane from the cell that wraps tightly around axons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oligodendrocytes form a myelin sheath over an axon’s length, and the axon is referred to as myelinated. Larger areas of the axon wrapped in myelin are internodes, about 1–2 mm in length.
