No. Neurons have a cover on a part called the axon. This is called a neurolemma. Not all axons have this covering. This cover acts like the cover on an electrical cord. It prevents it from short circuiting and increases the speed which the impulse travels.

No, neurons are not made up of neurolemma. Neurolemma is another term for the outermost layer of Schwann cells that form myelin sheaths around axons in the peripheral nervous system. Neurons are composed of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon.
