The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the origin of the myelin sheath in nerve fibers. Myelin sheath is an important structure in neurons that plays a crucial role in the conduction of nerve impulses. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options given are: - Nasal granules - Schwann cells - Node of Ranvier - Neurotransmitters 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Nasal Granules**: These are small granules found in the cell body of neurons and are not involved in the formation of the myelin sheath. - **Schwann Cells**: These are specialized glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the formation of the myelin sheath around nerve fibers. - **Node of Ranvier**: These are gaps in the myelin sheath and do not produce the myelin itself. - **Neurotransmitters**: These are chemicals that transmit signals across a synapse between neurons and are not involved in the formation of the myelin sheath. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Schwann cells**, as they are responsible for producing the myelin sheath around the nerve fibers. 5. **Final Answer**: The myelin sheath of nerve fibers is produced by **Schwann cells**. ---
