The structure coated with myelin to increase the speed of nerve impulse transmission is the axon. Myelin is a fatty substance that forms a protective sheath around the axon, facilitating faster electrical signal conduction through a process called saltatory conduction. This allows the nerve impulses to jump between the gaps in the myelin sheath, known as nodes of Ranvier, significantly enhancing transmission speed.

What is uncoated glass?

Your question is not perfectly clear, but ... . Glass is commonly coated to improve its scratch resistance, or to help eliminate reflections from the glass surface itself. Spectacle lenses are commonly coated to improve their scratch resistance. Camera lenses are coated to help minimise reflections internal to the lens system. In a building, the window glass may be given a mirror coating (often nickel) or other colour for aesthetic purposes. The glass in my car has been coated to reduce UV transmission, and thus reduce degradation of the interior.


Explain how a nerve impulse is both electrical and chemical?

The electrical signal travels down the axon to the axon terminals where it tells the vesicles to release the neurotransmitters (which are chemical signals consisting of hormones like dopamine and adrenaline) into the synaptic cleft which travel to the receptors of the receiving cell which releases the second messengers which are chemical signals that propagate an electrical impulse in the receiving cell.
