The cells that produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system are called:
A)Ranvier cells
B)Node cells
C)Oligodendrocytes
D)Schwann cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schwann cells are responsible for producing myelin in the peripheral nervous system. Ranvier cells and node cells are not actual cell types, but rather refer to specific structures in the axon where myelin is not present. Oligodendrocytes are the cells that produce myelin in the central nervous system.
