In nervous system: Types of neuroglia
Interfascicular oligodendrocytes are aligned in rows between the nerve fibres of the white matter of the central nervous system. In gray matter, perineuronal oligodendrocytes are located in close proximity to the somata of neurons. In the peripheral nervous system, neuroglia that are equivalent to oligodendrocytes…

In oligodendrocyte
Oligodendrocytes are subdivided into interfascicular and perineuronal types and have few cytoplasmic fibrils but a well-developed Golgi apparatus. They can be distinguished from the type of neuroglia known as an astrocyte by the greater density of both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, the absence of fibrils and of glycogen…
