A Meylin Sheath increases the speed of the nerve impulses and electronically insulates the fibers from one to another.
A disease that effects the myelin sheath is multiple sclerosis (MS).
The function of the myelin sheath is to act as an insulator for the nerve cell. It's kind of like the rubber casing found on the outside of wires to protect the electron movement inside and allow us not to get shocked. MS causes the destruction of the myelin sheath which causes it to scar and harden and as a result we short circuit in our body. This is equivalent to peeling off some of the rubber casing off a wire and then plugging the wire into a socket.
Some results of MS are:
-double vision
-speech impairment
-jerky limbs
-paralyzed muscles.
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.

The nerve cell protective sheath, called myelin, insulates and protects the nerve cells. It helps in the speedy transmission of electrical signals along the nerve fibers. Damage to the myelin sheath can result in disruption of nerve signal transmission and lead to neurological problems.

The sheath of Schwann is also called the myelin sheath. It is a layer of fatty material that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses.
The Schwann cell forms a myelin sheath around the axon of the nerve.
Myelin insulation insulates nerve fibers by wrapping around them and forming a protective sheath. This myelin sheath helps to increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction along the nerve fibers.
The endoneurium surrounds and protects the myelin sheath.
Schwann cells form a myelin sheath around peripheral nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system.
The myelin sheath. Due to its insulating properties, the myelin sheath prevents the movement of ions in nerve cells. Therefore nervous impulses will jump between the gaps in the myelin sheath (called the Nodes of Ranvier). This is a lot quicker than the conduction in non-myelinated nerve fibres which occurs by the movement of ions across each of the nerve cell membranes.

One is the Myelin Sheath, the other I would assume is the Neurilemma.
The myelin sheath protects the information passing from one side of the nerve cell to the other. It blocks out other signals that might interfere.
The nerve cell protective sheath, called myelin, insulates and protects the nerve cells. It helps in the speedy transmission of electrical signals along the nerve fibers. Damage to the myelin sheath can result in disruption of nerve signal transmission and lead to neurological problems.

if neurons didn't have myelin sheath then the transmission of nerve impulses is slowed or stopped
