PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Regardless of its cause, myelin loss causes remarkable nerve dysfunction because nerve conduction can be slowed or blocked, resulting in the damaged information networks between the brain and the body or within the brain itself (Figure 3). Following demyelination, the naked axon can be re-covered by new myelin.
