there is a myein sheath which is a bit constricted inwards at regular intevals, revealing a bit of axon. the sheath between 2 of such constrictions makes up a schwann cell.
Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.
A nerve impulse typically starts at the dendrites of a neuron, where it receives signals from other neurons or sensory receptors. These signals are then transmitted down the axon of the neuron to the axon terminals, where they can communicate with other neurons or target cells.
Myelinated A fibers have the fastest speed of impulse propagation among nerve fibers.
The duration of a nerve impulse is very short, typically around 1-2 milliseconds. This rapid transmission allows for quick communication between neurons and helps to coordinate various body functions.
The covering of a fatty material that speeds up the passage of a nerve impulse is called the myelin sheath. It is made of lipids and proteins and acts as an insulating layer around the axon of a neuron, allowing for faster transmission of electrical signals.
The material surrounding the axon that increases the speed of the nerve impulse is called myelin. Myelin is a fatty substance that acts as an insulating layer, allowing for faster transmission of electrical signals along the axon.

a nerve impulse
The sinoatrial (SA) node is innervated by the vagus nerve (parasympathetic) and sympathetic nerves. However, the sympathetic nerves play a more significant role in initiating an impulse in the SA node by releasing norepinephrine, which increases heart rate.
How does a nerve impulse follow the all-or-nothing principle???

Yes, an action potential is needed for a nerve impulse to occur.

It is called a nerve impulse.
Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.
