Answer:

Schwann cell, also called neurilemma cell, any of the cells in the peripheral nervous system that produce the myelin sheath around neuronal axons.

These cells are equivalent to a type of neuroglia called oligodendrocytes, which occur in the central nervous system.

Function -

One of the most important functions of the Schwann cell is to myelinate the axons of the PNS. Myelin, which is a fatty layer that insulates the axon, helps to increase the saltatory conduction of the neuron. A myelinating Schwann cell wraps around a single axon.
