Question

difference between oligodendrocytes and schwaan cell... i need a brainlist answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The major difference between them is their location. Schwann cells myelinate axons in the peripheral nervous system, while Oligodendrocytes myelinate axons in the central nervous system. Another interesting difference is that when Schwann cells myelinate, their cell body's actually wrap around the axon.

Explanation:

mark as brainliest

Answer 2

Both are glial cells ( supporting cells of nervous system )

Oligodendrocytes cover the axons of myelinated neurons in the CNS ( brain and spinal cord) . They are found in the white matter of brain and spinal cord where tracts ( axons) are found.

Schwaan cells cover the axons in the peripheral nervous system ( cranial and spinal nerves)

Both these cells act as insulators and help to reduce the spillage of the electrical impulses . So the transmission can be faster.
