Specialty Definition: Neurolemma

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Neurolemma (spelled also neurolema, neurilemma and neurilema, and used interchangably with epineurium) is the insulating myelin layer that surrounds an individual peripheral nerve fiber. The myelin is contributed by Schwann cells and the layer is sometimes referred to as the sheath of Schwann. The neurolemma is instrumental in regenerating axons that have been injured.
