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). In the PNS, one Schwann cell forms a single myelin sheath (Figure 1A).
Detailed explanation-2: -Myelinating Schwann cells are radially and longitudinally polarized cells (Salzer 2003; Ozcelik et al. 2010; Pereira et al. 2012). With myelination, Schwann cells organize into distinct membrane domains, each with a unique array of proteins, and a communicating set of cytoplasmic compartments (Fig.
Detailed explanation-3: -Schwann cells (SCs), named after German physiologist Theodor Schwann (1810–1882), are the main neuroglial cells of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
