has gloss(noun) outer membrane covering an axon
axolemma
has glosseng: The axolemma is the portion of a cell membrane surrounding the axon of a neuron. It is responsible for maintaining the membrane potential of the neuron, and it contains ion channels through which ions can flow. When this occurs, the voltage inside the axon changes, and depolarization or hyperpolarization of the membrane can occur. Adequate depolarization can lead to an action potential, which travels down the axon in a self-propagating manner as more ion channels open due to stimulation by the influx of positive ions.
