Melination

The myelin sheath means that the action potential can occur in between the schwann cells. Myelinated meurones conduct much quicker that non-myleinated neurones, even at speeds upto 120m/s

Which one of the following phrases describes the transmission of impulses to and from nerve cells?

There is a connection between two brain cells, called a synapse. When it reaches the end of one cell, the electric impulse transforms itself into a chemical substance, and is transferred from one cell to another. When it reaches the second cell, it is again transformed intro an electric impulse.
