What is the insulating layer found on the nerves?
Myelin Sheath
What is the membrane covering the brain and spinal cord called?
The myelin sheath forms a protective layer over nerves. However, it is not present on all nerves. Retinal nerves for instance normally are devoid of myelin.
What does the sheath do around the axon?
Protects the axon. The "Myelin Sheath" serves as an insulator to protect nerves.
What part of the nervous system is affected by poliomyelitis?
The myelin sheath surrounding nerves.
What is a compound nervous tissue?
The spinal cord and all nerves are composed of nervous tissue. The myelin sheath conducts nerve impulses.
What cell produces the myelin in peripheral nerves?
Schwann cells produce myelin in peripheral nerves. Schwann cells wrap around the axon of a neuron to form the myelin sheath, which helps to insulate and speed up the conduction of nerve impulses.

What is myelin sheath on nerve fibers?
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.
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.
