Question

multiple choice question
what is the function of the myelin sheath?
o to transmit nerve signals to adjacent cells
to insulate the perikaryon of a neuron
to form an insulating layer around axons

Explanation:

The myelin sheath is a fatty layer that wraps around the axons of neurons. Its main function is to insulate the axons, which speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses. Transmitting nerve signals to adjacent cells is mainly the job of synapses. The perikaryon (cell body) of a neuron is not insulated by the myelin sheath.

Answer:

to form an insulating layer around axons
