Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System

Nervous tissue contains Schwann cells. Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that help support and insulate axons in the peripheral nervous system by producing myelin.
No. Neurons are an example of a type of tissue.
Adipose tissue is the connective tissue that contains fat globules in its cells. This type of tissue stores energy in the form of fat and provides cushioning and insulation to the body.
No, adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores energy as fat, while epithelial tissue is a type of tissue that covers and protects the body's surfaces. Adipose tissue contains mainly fat cells, while epithelial tissue consists of closely packed cells that form layers.
First off it's SCHWANN CELLS. They are also called neurolemnocytes. They are the cells that support the peripheral nervous system. Scwann cells are any cells that are wrapped around nerve axons. A single schwann cell is a single segment of an axon's myelin sheath.
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells both produce myelin. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the CNS, whereas Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS. CNS refers to central nervous system PNS refers to peripheral nervous system
