Schwann cell with nodes of Ranvier are found in

Question

Schwann cell with nodes of Ranvier are found in (A) non-medullary axons in the central nervous system (B) non-medullary axons in the peripheral nervous system (C) medullary axons in the central nervous system (D) medullary axons in the peripheral nervous system

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Cranial nerves and spinal nerves form the peripheral nervous system. It has myelinated or medullary axons. Myelin sheath is deposited on the axons of PNS by Schwann cells. Myelin sheath is deposited on the axons of CNS by Oligodendrocytes. There is no myelin sheath in autonomoic nervous system.
