Functions of myelin sheath

Functions of myelin sheath

The myelin sheath has three functions: Its fatty-protein coating provides protective insulation for your nerve cell, like the plastic insulation covering that encases the wires of an electrical cord. It allows the electrical impulses to travel quickly and efficiently between one nerve cell and the next. It maintains the strength of the impulse message as it travels down the axon.
