Question

What is the function of the Schwann Cells?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

they surround the nerves in the peripheral nervous system to provide a myelin sheath that makes nerve signals run faster. these are different from oligodendrocytes because they don't branch and they aren't found in the central nervous system.
