Myelin (/ ˈ m aɪ. ə l ɪ n / MY-ə-lin) is a lipid-rich material that surrounds nerve cell axons to insulate them and increase the rate at which electrical impulses (called action potentials) pass along the axon. [1] [2] The myelinated axon can be likened to an electrical wire (the axon) with insulating material (myelin) around it. However ...
An autapse is a synapse in which the axon of one neuron transmits signals to its own dendrite. The general structure of the dendrite is used to classify neurons into multipolar, bipolar and unipolar types. Multipolar neurons are composed of one axon and many dendritic trees.
The following diagram is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the human nervous system: Human nervous system. Human nervous system – the part of the human body that coordinates a person's voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals between different parts of the body.

Neurons are often grouped into a cluster known as a nucleus where they usually have roughly similar connections and functions. [3] Nuclei are connected to other nuclei by tracts of white matter . Glia are the supporting cells of the neurons and have many functions not all of which are clearly understood, but include providing support and ...
