B. Ependymal cells
C. Oligodendrocytes
D. Microglia
E. Schwann cells



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system form the myelin sheath around axons, while oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system myelinate multiple axons.


Explanation:

Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for forming the myelin sheath around axons. Unlike oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system, which myelinate multiple axons, a single Schwann cell provides myelin for only one axon by wrapping around it entirely.
