Myelin. ... Each myelin sheath is formed by the concentric wrapping of an oligodendrocyte or Schwann cell process around the axon. More precisely, myelin speeds the transmission of electrical impulses called action potentials alongmyelinated axons by insulating the axon and reducing axonal membrane capacitance.
Hope it helps you

Myelin - A substance that forms a covering over many of the (nerves) in the body, increasing the speed at which messages travel

Neurons can have myelinated orunmyelinated axons. The onlydifference between those two types ofneurons is the speed of conduction. The neurons with myelinated axons have faster conduction speed since the myelin sheath acts as insulator that helps propagate the electrical signal faster.
