The myelin sheath is a layer that forms an insulating and protective coating around nerves. This sheath is fundamental for the functioning of the nervous system.

  • During neuronal firing, the part of the neuron that acts as an insulator and conductor to speed the electrical impulse as it travels down the axon is the MYELIN SHEATH.

  • This myelin layer is fundamental for the efficiency and velocity of the transmission of electrical impulses along nerves.

  • The damage of the myelin sheath is associated with different neuronal disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis).
