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.
No, it is not.
neurons and neuroglia
Neurons make up only about 10% of the cells in the nervous system but they play a crucial role in transmitting and processing information. Glial cells, which provide support and protection to neurons, make up the majority of cells in the nervous system.
Neurons are not found in atoms as they are much larger structures made up of molecules and cells. Neurons are specialized cells found in the nervous system and are essential for transmitting information throughout the body.
The outermost part of the brain that is made up of tightly packed neurons is the cerebral cortex. It plays a key role in functions such as memory, attention, perception, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.
