Answer:

Thick diameter, Myelinated

Explanation:

A alpha neurons conduct action potentials faster because of their large axon diameter and myelin.

  • The large diameter is less resistant to the flow of ions and allows for faster conductivity.
  • The myelin sheath is a layer of fat acting as to insulate the axon which helps increase signal conductance.

Answer: thick diameter, myelinated are needed for faster signal propagations.

Explanation:

These are the largest neuron in the spinal cord.  Based on structure their axons  are large , myelinated( surrounded with deposits of myelin sheath)and multipolar(many dendrites) .

These structures are  related to their functions, thus the big size is related to large diameter of the axon, while the multipolarity for integration of information from multiple neurons  need myelinated  axons for fast sultatory conduction during   receptions of  sensory inputs

Their major function is innervation of muscles fibre that are concerned with muscle contraction, where they form motor unit thus  reasons for above characteristics.

Therefore  Myelinated to allow fast salutatory conduction velocity  of  range of  80-120 m/s for action potential

and

large diameter of 13-20 micro meter which offers little resistance to flow of action potential are the correct answers

Trace the path of an egg cell by filling in the blanks.
Nadya [2.5K]
The path of an egg cell: After the egg breaks through the ovarian wall, it travels into the fallopian tube which overlies each ovary. From there, it reaches the uterus or womb. If the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, it is implanted in the endometrium.

Which is needed for one nerve to communicate with another nerve across a synapse?
VashaNatasha [74]
<span>Synaptic cleft or the terminal buttons that transmits neurotransmitters to the next neuron, received by its dendrites and is relayed now throughout the system until it reaches the brain.
The messages must travel the distance of the nerves to the brain which are processed and made decisions, from the distance of the nerves from the sense organs, then travel back to the muscles that need to respond through the nerves.<span> </span></span>
