What kind of a coating do axons have?
Axons are coated in a fatty substance called myelin - a "myelin sheath". It insulates and protects the cell body of neurones. The myelin doesn't completely coat the axon: there are small gaps between the myelin, called the nodes of Ranvier.
What insulates nerve fibers?

What is the definition of myelin sheath?
A myelin sheath is a layer of myelin (a dielectric, or electric insulator) around the axon of a neuron.
