Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A myelin sheath is a sleeve (sheath) that’s wrapped around each nerve cell (neurons). It’s a protective layer of fat (lipids) and protein that coats the main “body” section of a neuron called the axon.
Detailed explanation-2: -Myelin contains high levels of saturated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) [106]. The intermolecular interactions between long fatty acid tails add rigidity to the membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -Myelin sheath is a fatty layer of insulation substance that covers some axons. Myelin sheath facilitates the faster transmission of nerve impulses.
