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

What is neuroglial cells that form the fatty myelin sheath on the neurons of the brain and spinal cord called?
Schwann cells (PNS)
Function of oligodendrocytes?
Form myelin in the brain and spinal cord....
Do neurotransmitters form the myelin sheath?
No, neurotransmitters do not form the myelin sheath. Myelin is formed by specialized types of glial cells called oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are released by neurons to transmit signals across synapses.
What the neuralgia cells that form the mylin sheaths?
Schwann Cells make the myelin found in the (PNS) Peripheral Nervous System. It also helps speed up neurotransmissions. I hope this was helpful. for the central nervous system (brain & spinal cord) oligodendrocytes form the myelin.
Cells that form the lining of the cavities in the brain and spinal cord?
somatic cells
Myelin is formed by?
there are specialized cells in the nervous system produce and form the myelin in the central nervous system (brain & spinal cord) by oligodendrocytes in the peripheral nervous system by schwann cells
What is the medical terminology combining form meaning bone marrow or spinal cord?
The medical terminology combining form for bone marrow or spinal cord is "myel/o".
What type of cells produce the myelin sheath in the central nervous system?
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
What does the schwann cell form a myelin sheath around?
Schwann cells form a myelin sheath around peripheral nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system.
White matter of the spinal cord contains?
The H-shaped grey matter of the spinal cord contains motor neurons that control movement, smaller interneurons that handle communication within and between the segments of the spinal cord, and cells that receive sensory signals and then send information up to centers in the brain.
Which spinal nerves do not form plexus?
The spinal nerves that originate from the thoracic portion of the spinal cord don't form plexuses. The word thoracic pertains to the thorax.
The central nervous system in vertebrates consists of the what and the spinal cord?
The central nervous system
