The myelin sheath is a layer of fat and protein that covers the axon of a neuron, or nerve cell.The axon, which is a long, thin projection, is designed to carry electrical signals from a neuron to other cells.he myelin sheath is a layer of fat and protein that covers the axon of a neuron, or nerve cell.
The myelin sheath is a fatty layer that protects nerve cells, extending to cover the nerve throughout its length, except in small, unmyelinated gaps known as the nodes of Ranvier. Myelin aids in accelerating the speed at which an impulse travels along a nerve by causing the impulse to jump from one node of Ranvier to the next. Damage to the myelin sheath, called demyelination, compromises the nerveâs ability to conduct impulses. Video of the Day
