...and several questions of similar kind. Sorry, but would it not be
better, if you read an introductory text on neurophysiology first ?
The answers are not likely to be of much help to you. To quote
an old song about Watergate: "...if you didn't know _that_, man,
what else don't you know ?"
Myelin is an isolator formed from cell membranes. It works the
same way as coaxial cable; the nerve impulse traverses the isolated
section as an electrical, rather than electrochemical pulse.
