The first layer surrounding the axon is called the myelin sheath and it is made up of the plasma membrane of the Schwann cells. The Schwann cells cytoplasm creates the second layer and is called the neurolemma. A neuron in the peripheral nervous system with a myelin sheath is called a myelinated neuron.
