Final answer:

Oligodendrocytes are the cells in the CNS that form myelin.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that form myelin are oligodendrocytes. Oligodendrocytes are responsible for producing the myelin sheath, a fatty substance that insulates and protects nerve fibers in the CNS. They can provide myelin for multiple axons segments.
