Myelin sheath is formed by

A

Ranvier cells

B

muscle cells

C

Schwann cells

D

axon

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Each segment of myelin sheath is formed by one Schwann cell.Myelin sheath is present in the myelinated nerve fibres.It is made up of a substance of lipids, proteins and water called myelin and serves as an insulating layer, preventing loss of energy of the nerve impulse during its passage along the fibre.
