In central nervous system (or CNS) the myelin sheath is made up by the apposition of oligodendrocyte membranes. Each oligodendrocyte can cover up portions of axons of numerous dissimilar neurons.

The Ranviers’ nodes show in the intercellular space among such cells. The myelin sheath is rich in lipids however it as well contains proteins.
