Cell Type Overview
Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Each oligodendrocyte extends multiple processes to wrap and insulate segments of several different axons with concentric layers of myelin membrane. This myelin sheath greatly increases the speed of action potential propagation (saltatory conduction). They also provide metabolic support to the axons they enwrap. Loss of oligodendrocytes or myelin disrupts nerve signaling.
