1 C. A peripheral nerve fiber is myelinated by a Schwann cell in several stages. In stage 1 the Schwann cell surrounds the axon. In stage 2 the outer aspects of the plasma membrane have become tightly apposed in one area. This membrane fusion reflects early myelin membrane formation. In stage 3 several layers of myelin have formed because of continued rotation of the Schwann cell cytoplasm around the axon. In stage 4 a mature myelin sheath has formed; much of the Schwann cell cytoplasm has been squeezed out of the innermost loop.
