Answer;
Myelin sheath
Step-by-step explanation
;
Neurons are often surrounded by a myelin sheath to improve the speed of their communication, and to keep their electrical charges from shorting out with other neurons.
Myelination of neurons by myelin sheath acts as an insulation to the neurons and this facilitates the transmission of electrical signals or impulses.
Myelin sheath is a fatty layer tissue that surrounds the axon of a neuron and acts as an insulator and also allows faster transmission of electrical signals.
