part of part of glial cell Schwann cell 2011-03-02T01:19:27Z neurolemmocyte A glial cell that myelinates or ensheathes axons in the peripheral nervous system. BTO:0001220 https://cellxgene.cziscience.com/cellguide/CL_0002573 MESH:D012583 A myelinating Schwann cell wraps around a single axon. Myelination occurs in larger diameter axons, while a process called ensheathment occurs on smaller diameter axons in which a single cell wraps around multiple small, unmyelinated axons separating them with a thin layer of cytoplasm. The structure formed is called a Remak bundle. CALOHA:TS-0898 Homo sapiens peripheral nervous system Terrence F Meehan
