Struktur Neuron

Mielin adalah lapisan phospholipid yang mengelilingi akson pada banyak neuron. Sel Schwann mengsuplai mielin untuk neuron periferal, dimana oligodendrosit mengsuplai ke sistem saraf pusat. Mielin merupakan karakteristik dari vertebrata (gnathostome), tetapi juga diangkat oleh evolusi pararel beberapa invertebrata. Mielin ditemukan oleh Louis-Antoine Ranvier pada tahun 1878.
