Myalin sheath gives insulation to the neurons. They also hasten the nerve conduction by saltatory conduction.

What increases the speed of the transmission?
Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath
What increases the speed of impulse transmission?
Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath
What would happen if the neuron did not have a myelin sheath?
if neurons didn't have myelin sheath then the transmission of nerve impulses is slowed or stopped

It is etiher a. specific brain regions. b. synaptic gaps. c. endorphins. d. the myelin sheath. It is etiher a. specific brain regions. b. synaptic gaps. c. endorphins. d. the myelin sheath.
Increases the speed of impulse transmission?
axon terminal Its the Myelin Sheath.
Does myelin sheaths slow down nerve impluses?
No, a myelin sheath speeds up the rate of nerve transmission.
What is the insulating layer wrapped around nerve cells that increases the speed of nerve impulse transmission?
The myelin sheath. Due to its insulating properties, the myelin sheath prevents the movement of ions in nerve cells. Therefore nervous impulses will jump between the gaps in the myelin sheath (called the Nodes of Ranvier). This is a lot quicker than the conduction in non-myelinated nerve fibres which occurs by the movement of ions across each of the nerve cell membranes.
What are schwann cell nucleus'?

It insulates the axon of the neuron?
An insulating layer that surrounds the axon is a myelin sheath.
The role of the myelin sheath?
The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds nerve fibers and helps in efficient transmission of nerve impulses. It acts as an insulator, speeding up the transmission of signals along the nerves. Damage to the myelin sheath can result in disruptions in nerve signal transmission and lead to conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
Does myelin sheath transmits impulses from one nuron to another?
Myelin sheath never transmits the impulse from one neuron to another. On the contrary these are insulating cells which prevent transmission of nerve impulses.
The layer of lipid around an axon is called?
Myelin sheath
