Understand the structure and function of the myelin sheath
Myelin sheaths are made by Schwann cells in the PNS and Oligodendrocytes in the CNS. Nodes of Ranvier (gaps in the myelin sheath) are more common in the PNS than in the CNS. The myelin sheath provides protection and insulation for the axon, and also increases the speed of conductivity of the nervous impulse.

By Schwann cells in the PNS, and Oligodendrocytes in the CNS

The three meninges are connective tissue membranes that cover the spinal cord and are continuous with the cranial meninges that protect the brain. Dura Mater, the outer meninx, is a tough, single-layered membrane that is deep to the epidural space and superficial to the spider web-like arachnoid mater. The inner meninx, the pia mater, is delicate and hugs the spinal cord.
32
