3
Q
what cell types are associated with creating myelin sheaths?
A
schwann cells & oligodendrocytes
4
Q
how does a schwann cell differ to oligodendrocytes in terms of myelin sheaths?
A
schwann cells form a single myelin sheath around an axon, whereas oligodendrocytes form multiple sheaths around different axons
