Answer 2

Hiya!!

Myelin is a lipid-rich substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells, forming an electrically insulating layer. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. It is produced by specialized glial cells through extension of their cellular processes......

The main purpose of a myelin sheath is to increase the speed at which impulses propagate along the myelinated fiber.
