PPT-Motor Neurone

Schwann Cells Myelin Sheath Node of Ranvier Motor neurones transmit impulses from the central nervous system to effector muscle or gland The myelin sheath is formed by Schwann Cells wrapping themselves around the axon along its length The enclosing sheath is made of lipids and proteins The sheath increases the speed of conduction of nerve impulses . neuro. stuff . .
