The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the formation of the myelin sheath around nerve fibers in the central nervous system, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks which type of cell forms the myelin sheath around nerve fibers specifically in the central nervous system (CNS). 2. **Identify the Options**: The options provided are: - (a) Neurilemma - (b) Schwann cells - (c) Oligodendrocytes - (d) Neurolemmocytes 3. **Recall the Functions of Each Cell Type**: - **Neurilemma**: This is a membrane that surrounds the axons of peripheral nerves but is not a type of cell that forms myelin in the CNS. - **Schwann Cells**: These cells are responsible for forming the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), not in the CNS. - **Oligodendrocytes**: These are glial cells found in the CNS that wrap around axons to form the myelin sheath. - **Neurolemmocytes**: This is another term for Schwann cells, which again are not involved in the CNS. 4. **Determine the Correct Answer**: Based on the information recalled, oligodendrocytes are the cells that form the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Oligodendrocytes. 5. **Conclusion**: The myelin sheath around the nerve fiber in the central nervous system is formed by the spiral wrapping of oligodendrocytes. ### Final Answer: (c) Oligodendrocytes
