Let's explain it simply. As a signal travels through an axon, if there's myeline on it, it jumps from one point to another. If there is no myeline, it travels through following a direct path. If it jumps forward from one point to another, it travels faster than just plain going forward. That's why if there's no myeline, it slows down and your nerves start to lose their usefulness because they transfer it slower.

If you were designing a lander to work on mars, where on earth would you test it? Why?
emmasim [6.3K]
Hmm good question. Well I would have to test it for where there are no living life. I would have to build another NASA in the County because there is plenty of room there. Mars is made out of Dusty Crust that is about 30 miles thick. And let's say that the desert's Dusty Crust is about 5 miles - 15 miles thick. That will give about the same amount of surface that mars has. So we would know what to build for a perfect lander to work on Mars. This isn't much but it is something.
