There are two types of axons, namely, myelinated and non-myelinated. Find out the correct statement:
I: The myelinated nerve fibres are enveloped with Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath around the axon.
II: Myelinated nerve fibres are found in spinal and cranial nerves.
III: Unmyelinated nerve fibres are not enclosed by a Schwann cell and a myelin sheath around the axon.
IV: Unmyelinated nerve fibres are commonly found in autonomous and the somatic neural systems.
