Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system form myelin sheaths around axons, which helps to speed up the transmission of nerve impulses. These myelin sheaths act as insulating layers that ensure efficient communication between neurons.
Schwann cells form a myelin sheath around peripheral nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system.
Schwann cells produce myelin in peripheral nerves. Schwann cells wrap around the axon of a neuron to form the myelin sheath, which helps to insulate and speed up the conduction of nerve impulses.
The axon is surrounded by the myelin sheath, which is a fatty insulating layer that speeds up the transmission of electrical signals. Outside the myelin sheath, there are Schwann cells or oligodendrocytes (depending on the type of neuron) that help form and maintain the myelin sheath.
Yes, Schwann cells are responsible for producing the myelin sheath that covers the axons of peripheral neurons. This insulation helps to speed up the transmission of electrical signals along the axon.
schwann cells
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
Schwann cells make the myelin sheath in the PNS. Each of the Schwann cells myelinate their own segment of the axon, they work together to make the myelin sheath.

They are called oligodendrocytes but in the peripheral nervous system you would call them schwann cells.
