Explanation:

Schwann cells provide myelination to peripheral neurons. They also perform phagocytic functions and clear cellular debris, allowing for the regrowth of PNS neurons. ... Satellite cells are small glia that surround neurons' sensory ganglia in the ANS

Schwann cells (SCs) are the main glial cells of the peripheral nervous system which wrap around axons of motor and sensory neurons to form the myelin sheath.

Satellite cells are small, flattened cells found in the ganglia of the peripheral nervous system (ganglion = collection of cell bodies). ... dorsal root ganglia located on either side of the spinal cord contain the most prominent satellite cell
