Question:

Myelin sheath is produced by

Osteoclasts and Astrocytes

Astrocytes and Schwann Cells

Oligodendrocytes and Osteoclasts

Schwann Cells and Oligodendrocytes

Solution:

The correct option is B Schwann Cells and Oligodendrocytes. Myelin sheath is also known as medullary sheath. It is an insulating layer which covers the axon and helps to maintain a constant membrane potential. It is produced by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system and from oligodendroglia cells. So, the correct answer is option B.
