| Description |
Schwann cells ensheathe the axons of cranial nerves III to XII, spinal roots, and most peripheral nerves from the point at which they penetrate the pia mater to their terminations. The Schwann cell is considered to be homologous with the oligodendrocyte of the central nervous system (CNS) as both classes of cells are of neuroectodermal origin and form the myelin sheath. |
