Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oligodendrocytes are responsible for producing and maintaining the myelin sheath around nerve fibers in the central nervous system. They are not involved in the formation of regeneration tubes to guide regenerating nerve fibers. This role is primarily performed by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.
