Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), Schwann cells wrap around axons to form the myelin sheath, which insulates axons and increases the speed of nerve impulse conduction (saltatory conduction). In the central nervous system (CNS), oligodendrocytes perform this function. Astrocytes support neurons, microglia act as immune cells. Nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath.
