Question

Match the term with its description

cells that myelinate only one axon each; multiple cells per axon

A. ependymal cells
B. astrocytes
C. satellite cells
D. Schwann cells
E. oligiodendrocytes
F. Microglia

Answer 1

Schwann cells are the cells that myelinate only one axon each, with multiple cells per axon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cells that myelinate only one axon each, with multiple cells per axon, are Schwann cells. Schwann cells are a type of glial cell found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and they play a crucial role in insulating peripheral axons with myelin. Each Schwann cell wraps around a portion of only one axon segment, providing insulation and support.
