| Erosion of the myelin sheath therefore causes neurological impairments such as those seen in multiple sclerosis patients. |
| Of limited distribution in nature, cerebrosides are most abundant in the myelin sheath surrounding nerves. |
| The multilayered myelin sheath that enwraps nerve fibers serves as an insulator to facilitate nerve impulse conduction. |
| All axons from the enteric nerve cells lack a myelin sheath. |
| All data refer to inner diameter of myelinated axons, i.e. not including the myelin sheath. |
| The myelin sheath around an axon is interrupted at regular intervals known as the nodes of Ranvier. |
