The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds axons. In the Central Nervous System (CNS), the myelin sheath is synthesized and maintained by oligodendrocytes.
Schwann cells perform the same function but in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
Astrocytes are involved in providing structural and metabolic support, while microglia act as the primary immune cells (macrophages) of the CNS.
