Which cell type is not found in the peripheral nervous system?
A
Sensory neurons
B
Oligodendrocytes
C
Satellite cells
D
Schwann cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the components of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which includes nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord.
Identify the types of cells typically found in the PNS: sensory neurons, Schwann cells, and satellite cells.
Recognize that sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system (CNS).
Know that Schwann cells are responsible for myelinating axons in the PNS, similar to the role of oligodendrocytes in the CNS.
Understand that oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cell found in the central nervous system, not the peripheral nervous system, which makes them the correct answer to the question.
