EMG/NCV section Learn about the Brain Learn about nerves Nerve Fibers conduction described in detail below.
Neurons with myelin (or myelinated neurons) conduct impulses much faster than those without myelin.
Myelin is a round sheet around the Axon.

histology of
Myelin see this page
Schwann cells are located at regular intervals along the process (axons and, for some neurons, dendrites) & so a section of a myelinated axon would look like this:
