What is myelin sheath on nerve fibers?
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.
What does the sheath do in the nerve cell?
The myelin sheath acts as a covering on the axon of a neuron just as the covering on the cord you plug into an electrical socket. If it is damaged, the current can be "short circuited" and the neuron and the axon will not function. This sheath allows impulses to travel rapidly. MS is a disease where these sheaths are damaged.
What is the fibrous covering or nerve sheath which aids in fiber regeneration?
myelin sheath.
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).
What is the function of the myelin sheath and how does it identify the function of the myelin sheath?
The myelin sheath is a protective covering around nerve fibers that helps speed up the transmission of electrical signals in the nervous system. It acts like insulation on a wire, allowing signals to travel faster and more efficiently. The function of the myelin sheath is to enhance the speed and efficiency of nerve signal transmission.
What increases the speed of the transmission?

What is the myelin sheath's function?
The function of the myelin sheath is to insulate the axon of the neuron. When there are gaps in the sheath, known as nodes of Ranvier, the nerve impulse can jump from gap to gap, thus increasing greatly the speed of conduction of the nerve impulse. This is known as saltatory conduction.

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.

What creates myelin sheath?
Oligodendrocytes are specialized neurolgical cells that produce myelin sheath.
What insulates nerve fibers?
Myelin insulation insulates nerve fibers by wrapping around them and forming a protective sheath. This myelin sheath helps to increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction along the nerve fibers.
