What is Myelin?
The Myelin Wraps and insulates axons in the nervous system.What is Axon?
An axon are tiny connections in the nervous system from where electrical signals move to other neurons. Thats how your brains tell you someone is touching you, or you are feeling pains for example.
Where the Myelin is produced
In Central Nervous System, CNS (including CN II), myelin is synthesized by oligodendrocytes.
In Peripheral Nervous System, PNS (including CN III-XII), myelin is synthesized by Schwann cells.

COPS (CO PS)
CNS = Oligodendrocytes,
PNS = Schwann cells.
