What is the composition and function of the neurolemma?

What will be an ideal response?


Nerve membranes, called neurolemmas, are bilayered phospholipid membranes. The function of a bilayered membrane is to act as a barrier. Lipid membranes are composed of phospholipids having both lipophilic ("fat-loving") and hydrophilic ("water-loving") ends. Membranes are held together by the attraction of the lipophilic ends at their centers.
