Explanation:
The myelin sheath (composed of protein and lipids) is a protective covering that surrounds axons (the long thin projections that extend from the main body of a nerve cell or neuron. The main function of myelin is to protect and insulate these axons and enhance their transmission of electrical impulses. If myelin is damaged, the transmission of these impulses is slowed down.
