Axon diameter and degree of myelination determine nerve impulse conduction velocity. True or False?
Sri K.
Using cable theory to describe axon conduction would tell us_______________. a. the larger the diameter of the axon the faster the propagation of the action potential b. the larger the diameter of the axon the slower the propagation of the action potential c. the smaller the diameter of the axon the faster the propagation of the action potential d. that having big axons is of no benefit and only takes up a lot of space e. the nervous system mainly has small axons because they are much faster than large ones
