The main component of the myelin sheath is?

Myelin is composed of about 80% lipid and about 20% protein. Some of the proteins that make up myelin are myelin basic protein (MBP),myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), and proteolipid protein (PLP). Myelin is made up primarily of a glycolipid calledgalactocerebroside. The intertwining of the hydrocarbon chains of sphingomyelin serve to strengthen the myelin sheath.There are quite a few disease (multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, transverse myelitis..) involved in the destruction of the axon myelin sheath also known as myelin sheath.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelin


Does grey matter contain myelin?

That is a very good question. Gray matter is composed of cell bodies of neurons. Such cell bodies are also covered by myalin sheath. But the colour of myalin sheath is dominated by the color of nerve cell bodies. ( Without the myelin sheath, there will be short circuit.)
