Answer:

Myelin sheath.

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cell may be defined as the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Two main types of neuron are myelinated and unmyelinated neuron.

The myelin sheath is made of the fatty layers of the cell. This myelin sheath increases the conduction of the neuron transmission as they allow the saltatory conduction in the cell. Saltatory conduction causes the jumping of the transmission and increases nerve conduction.

Thus, the answer is myelin sheath.
