In our nervous system many axons are covered by a protective
myelin sheath.
Myelin sheath is a
white layer of fatty material; derived from the membrane of Schwann cells; surrounds certain nerve fibers and acts as an electrical insulator
In the nervous system the bundles of parallel axons of the nervous tissue having myelin sheath constitute the
white matter
