True or false? Axon diameter and degree of myelination determine nerve impulse conduction velocity.
Added by Manuela C.
Step 1
Myelination also affects conduction velocity because myelinated axons have a faster conduction velocity due to saltatory conduction, where the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next. So, both axon diameter and degree of myelination determine Show more…
