Detailed explanation-1: -Schwann cells make myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS: nerves) and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS: brain and spinal cord).
Detailed explanation-2: -What are the 4 types of Neuroglial cells and their functions? The four main types of Neuroglial cells include astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, and Schwann Cells. Their functions include maintaining neuronal survivability, protecting the nervous system, and producing myelin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Emerging Role of Oligodendrocytes in Pain Oligodendrocytes are the most abundant glial cell type in the CNS, accounting for 45–75% of all glia. However, relatively few studies have focused on the role of oligodendrocytes in the pathogenesis of chronic pain.
