No, many different types of neurons contain myelin.

Sensory neurons have myelin sheath and the cell body is located within the axon. (In the middle)

Motor neurons have myelin sheath and the cell body is located at one end of the axon.

Interneuron may not have a myelin sheath and the cell body is between the dendrites and the axon (closer to the dendrites)

Runs like this...
Receptor-> Sensory Neuron-> Interneuron (brain and Spinal cord) ->Motor Neuron ->Muscle

Hope this helps!!  Waving Hand Sign
