A lack of myelin around the axon in the white matter of the spinal cord would most likely be due to a defect in
a) ependymal cells
b) schwann cells
c) dorsal root ganglion
d) satellite cell
e) oligo dendrocytes

mikee & zarah got it right.

oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the CNS.Therefore a lack of myelin sheath in the white matter,( which is part of spinal cord & in the CNS ) would suggest some problem with these cells. Myelin in the peripheral neurons is produced by schwann cells
