A myelin sheath is an 'outgrowth' of schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) ONLY and can only provide a segment of myelin sheath around a single axon whereas in the central nervous system (CNS) myelin sheath is provided by oligodendrocytes, which can provide myelin sheath around many axons (up to 40 or 50). Additionally there are neurons without a myelin sheath. (Oligodendrocytes and schwann cells are types of glial cells).
