Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheath around axons. Astrocytes provide nutrients to neurons, maintain their extracellular environment, and provide structural support.
Detailed explanation-2: -Myelin is a lipid-rich material that surrounds nerve cell axons (the nervous system’s “wires") to insulate them and increase the rate at which electrical impulses (called action potentials) are passed along the axon.
Detailed explanation-3: -Myelin is an insulating layer, or sheath that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances. This myelin sheath allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells.
