A) synapses.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cell in the central nervous system (CNS) that produce and maintain the myelin sheath around axons. This myelin sheath helps to insulate the axon and increases the speed of neural impulses. Oligodendrocytes do not form synapses, the blood-brain barrier, or spines along dendrites.
