Vedclass · Answer

(B) The myelin sheath is a fatty insulating layer that surrounds the axon of many neurons. However,this sheath is not continuous along the entire length of the axon. It is interrupted at regular intervals by gaps known as the nodes of Ranvier. These nodes allow for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses,which significantly increases the speed of signal transmission.
