Myelin Sheath

Detailed explanation-1: -The myelin sheath is a greatly extended and modified plasma membrane wrapped around the nerve axon in a spiral fashion [1]. The myelin membranes originate from and are a part of the Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the oligodendroglial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) (see Chap.
Detailed explanation-2: -Again, depending on the location within the body, these structures can be covered in sheaths of an insulating material known as myelin. Based on the presence or absence of the myelin sheath, axons are distinguishable into myelinated and non-myelinated axons.
Detailed explanation-3: -1) Sleep. Animal studies suggest that sleep increases the amount of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in the body, which can lead to increased myelin formation. 2) Exercise. 3) Socializing and New Experiences. 4) Learning New Complex Skills. 1) Fish/DHA (Brain) 2) Vitamin D. 3) Vitamin C. 4) Iodine.
