The sheath is composed of an outer non-cellular layer, the neural lamella, and an inner layer of sheath cells. The neural lamella possesses a large number of collagen fibrils arranged in layers with differing orientations. The sheath cells are flattened on the inner surface of the lamella and the cytoplasm contains lipochondria, mitochondria, and small amounts of endoplasmic reticulum.
