How many types of Schwann cells exist in the human body?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

There are two types: myelinating and nonmyelating. Myelinating Schwann cells wrap around axons of motor and sensory neurons to form the myelin sheath, which acts to protect and support nerve functioning. Non-myelinating Schwann cells are involved with maintaining the health and vitality of the axon or nerve fiber.

I thought there were only one or two types of Schwann cells, but now I'm second-guessing myself.

I remember reading that Schwann cells are crucial for myelination, but I’m not sure if there are three or four types.

I'm drawing a blank on the specifics of Schwann cells. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.
