The endoneurium is the connective tissue layer that directly surrounds each axon in a nerve. It provides support and protection to individual nerve fibers.
In a typical neuron, the sheaths of fatty tissue that surround and insulate the axon are called myelin sheaths. These sheaths help to speed up the transmission of electrical impulses along the axon.
The fatty substance that surrounds the axon of a neuron and speeds up the transmission of impulses is called myelin. Myelin acts as an insulating layer that helps to maintain the electrical signal within the neuron, allowing for faster and more efficient communication between cells.
Bouton does not belong as it refers to a swollen region along an axon where synapses are found, while axon terminal, synaptic knob, and axon collateral are all parts of the structure of a neuron.
Axon.
The endoneurium is the connective tissue layer that directly surrounds each axon in a nerve. It provides support and protection to individual nerve fibers.
The single long axon is surrounded by myelin sheath, which is a fatty substance produced by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. The gaps along the axon are called nodes of Ranvier, where the axon is exposed and allows for faster nerve impulse transmission known as saltatory conduction.
Myelin is a fatty substance that wraps around the axon of a neuron, acting as an insulator that speeds up the transmission of electrical signals. By insulating the axon, myelin helps the signals propagate more efficiently and quickly along the neuron.

axon hillock = where cell body meets the axon axon bulb = end of the axon...lies very close to the dendrites of another neuron so impulses can pass over the synapse. AP Biology student *

what is the axon made of
axon hillock
An axon hillock is a special cell body that connects an axon to a neuron. It is the last place where propagated membrane potentials are transmitted to the axon.
