Detailed explanation-1: -There are two kinds of neuroglia in the peripheral nervous system (PNS): Schwann cells and satellite cells . Schwann cells provide myelination to peripheral neurons. Functionally, the schwann cells are similar to oligodendrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Schwann cell plays a vital role in maintaining the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Schwann cells are derived from neural crest cells, and come in two types either myelinating or non-myelinating Schwann cells. Both play a pivotal role in the maintenance and regeneration of axons of the neurons in the PNS.
Detailed explanation-3: -In vertebrates, oligodendrocytes (OLs) and Schwann cells (SCs) are specialized glial cells that generate the myelin sheaths of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS), respectively.
