What type of neuroglia cell is found in the CNS and provides multiple layers of myelin sheaths?
|
|
Microglial
|
|
|
Oligodendrocytes
|
|
|
Astrocytes
|
|
|
Ependymal
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Oligodendrocytes or oligodendroglia are associated with axons in the CNS. They provide the myelination for these axons in a way similar to that of Schwann cells in the PNS.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oligodendrocytes are the glial cells where myelin is produced in the central nervous system, and Schwann cells are responsible for producing myelin in the peripheral nervous system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neuroglia in the CNS include astrocytes, microglial cells, ependymal cells, and oligodendrocytes.
