Schwann cells and the myelin sheath have lipids in their membranes (the phospholipid bilayer) and they are poor conductors of electrical signals. As a neuron fires, a wave of depolarization propagates down the axon to the next neuron. … Read more

Further, the only other requirement to produce Oxygen is the availability of water (this is where the oxygen comes from). In fact … Read more
