A function of glial cells is the production of A - Scottish Highers Human Biology - Question 21 - 2019

Glial cells, specifically oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, are responsible for the production of myelin. Myelin is a fatty substance that surrounds the axons of neurons, providing insulation and allowing for faster electrical signal transmission. This process is essential for proper nervous system function.
