Questions: Part A Oligodendrocytes share which of the following in common with Schwann cells? They conduct nerve impulses. They release neurotransmitters when stimulated. They are a type of neuroglial cell. They are located in the peripheral nervous system. They are located in the central nervous system. Submit Request Answer

The answer is the third one: They are a type of neuroglial cell.

Explanation for each option:

1. They conduct nerve impulses. - Incorrect. Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells do not conduct nerve impulses; they support neurons that do.
2. They release neurotransmitters when stimulated. - Incorrect. Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells do not release neurotransmitters; this is a function of neurons.
3. They are a type of neuroglial cell. - Correct. Both oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells are types of neuroglial cells, which support and insulate neurons.
4. They are located in the peripheral nervous system. - Incorrect. Schwann cells are located in the peripheral nervous system, but oligodendrocytes are located in the central nervous system.
5. They are located in the central nervous system. - Incorrect. Oligodendrocytes are located in the central nervous system, but Schwann cells are located in the peripheral nervous system.

Summary: Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells share the characteristic of being types of neuroglial cells.
