NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Myelin is made by oligodendrocytes in your brain and spinal cord (your central nervous system [CNS]) and by Schwann cells in your peripheral nervous system. Your peripheral nervous system is the network of nerves outside of your CNS. These nerves communicate between your CNS and the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The myelin membranes originate from and are a part of the Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the oligodendroglial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) (see Chap. 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Schwann cells, specialized neuroglia cells, produce myelin sheath, which acts as insulation along the axon. Most mammalian neurones are coated in a whitish, fatty layer called the myelin sheath (not part of the neuron.) It insulates the nerve fibers to prevent signal loss or crossing of signals.
