Detailed Solution

Schwann cells are a type of glial cell. They produce myelin sheaths to envelop the axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). 

Myelin sheaths are important for insulating and speeding up nerve impulses along the axons. The gaps between the two adjacent myelin sheaths are called Nodes of Ranvier.

Adipocytes are fat cells, cartilage cells form cartilage tissue, and bone marrow cells produce blood cells.
