Schwann cells are functionally similar to?

Schwann cells are functionally similar to oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. They both provide support and insulation to nerve fibers by forming a myelin sheath around them, which helps in the transmission of nerve signals. Schwann cells are found in the peripheral nervous system while oligodendrocytes are found in the central nervous system.
