What is axolemma?
An axolemma is the surface membrane of an axon.
What type of current flows through the axolemma during the steep phase of repolarization?
mainly potassium current
If the axolemma becomes more permeable to potassium ion?
If the axolemma becomes more permeable to potassium ions, it can lead to an increase in the efflux of potassium ions from the axon. This efflux of potassium ions could potentially cause hyperpolarization of the axon, making it more difficult to generate an action potential and conduct electrical signals.
What is the name for the cell membrane of a neuron?
The cell membrane of a neuron is called the "neuronal membrane" or "plasma membrane." It separates the interior of the neuron from the external environment and helps regulate the movement of ions and molecules in and out of the cell.

What is the sheath of the Schwann Cell also called?
Surrounding the myelin sheath, there is a thin membrane called neurilemmal sheath. This is also called neurilemma or sheath of Schwann. This contains Schwann cells, which have flattened and elongated nuclei. The cytoplasm is thin and modified to form the thin sheath of neurilemma enclosing the myelin sheath. One nucleus is present in each internode of the axon. The nucleus is situated between myelin sheath adn neurilemma. At the node of Ranvier (where myelin sheath is absent), the neurilemma invaginates and runs up to axolemma in the form of a finger like process. In nonmyelinated nerve fiber, the neurilemma continuously surrounds axolemma. Neurilemma is absent in central nervous system. Neurilemma is necessary for the formation of myelin sheath (myelinogeneis).

Formation of Myelin Sheath and also Neuron introduction?
The formation of myelin sheath around the axon is called the myelinogenesis. In the peripheral nerve, the myelinogenesis starts at 4th month of intrauterine life. It is completed only in the second year after birth. Before myelinogeneis, Schwann cells of the neurilemma are very close to axolemma as in the case of unmyelinated nerve fiber. The membrane of the schwann cell is double layered. The schwann cells wrap up and rotate around the axis cylinder in many concentric layers. The concentric layers fuse to produce the myelin sheath but the cytoplasm of the cells is not deposited. Outermost membrane of Schwann cell remains as neurilemma. Nucleus of these cells remains in between myelin sheath and neurilemma. In the central nervous system, the schwann cells are absent and the myelin sheath is formed by the neuroglial cells called the oligodendroglia.
