| Schwann cells | - PNS - Support peripheral nerve fibres - Provide myelin - Similar to oligodendrocytes in the CNS |
| Nodes of Ranvier | - Gaps between myelin - Increase conduction speed |
| Neurilemma | - Only in PNS - Where the Schwann cells nucleus and cytoplasm are pushed to the perimeter of the cell |
