the axons of myelinated neurons are embeded in a protective covering of gray matter.
no
TRUE. Neurons with myelin (or myelinated neurons) conduct impulses much faster than those without myelin.
Neurons wrapped in a fatty membrane are called myelinated neurons. The fatty substance that wraps around the neuron is called myelin, and it helps to insulate and speed up the transmission of electrical impulses along the neuron's axon. Myelinated neurons are found in the central and peripheral nervous system.

Myelinated neurons conduct impulses faster than unmyelinated neurons.
Hagfish, Lobsters and Crabs. As well as Mantis Shrimp.
A group of neurons with little to no myelin is known as unmyelinated neurons. These neurons transmit signals more slowly compared to myelinated neurons, which have a protective myelin sheath covering their axons.
Myelination occurs in some neurons to increase the speed and efficiency of electrical signal transmission. Neurons that are myelinated are insulated by a fatty substance called myelin, which enhances the conduction of action potentials. In contrast, unmyelinated neurons may be slower in transmitting signals but can be found in areas where speed is less critical or space is limited.
Impulses that travel along myelinated neurons are the fastest.
Attack and escape. Myelinated neurons allow faster reflexes increasing chance of survival, which allows you to pass your genes on to your offspring.
You don't, but glial cells, (oligodendrocytes in the CNS, and Schwann cells in the PNS), wrapped one after another around the axons of neurons with gaps between them called the nodes of Ravnier do create myelinated neurons.
Unipolar Sensory Neurons: large myelinated neurons with the cell body off to one side of the single dendritic-axon process. Multipolar Motor Neurons: large myelinated neurons that have many dendrites off the cell body and an axon that may branch to effect many effectors.
