*Myelination in the PNS is achieved by the Schwann cell, a derivative of neural crest cells, which bud off from the neuroepithelium at a very early stage of neurogenesis.

*During development, Schwann cells engage many small axons.

*As axonal diameter increases, Schwann cells eventually relate with only a single axon c.f [[Microscopic Anatomy of the CNS#Oligodendrocytes|oligodendrocytes]].

**This single axon is enveloped in a trough by the Schwann cell processes that engulf it.
