They have multiple processes and are isolated from fiber segments of multiple nerves.
A
astrocytes
B
Oligodendrocytes
C
Microglia
D
Epidemic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, the oligodendrocytes produce myelin sheaths in the CNS and Schwann cells produce myelin sheaths in the PNS. However, one other thing of note: a single oligodendrocyte can myelinate multiple neuronal axons, while a single Schwann cell can only myelinate a single nueron’s axon.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the central nervous system (CNS), oligodendrocytes assemble myelin, a multilayered sheath of membrane, spirally wrapped around axonal segments and best known for its role in enabling fast saltatory impulse propagation1, 2.
