Question

Select the choice that describes neurons with the fastest conduction velocity for action potentials. view available hint(s) select the choice that describes neurons with the fastest conduction velocity for action potentials. thick, myelinated neurons thin, nonmyelinated neurons thin, myelinated neurons thick, nonmyelinated neurons all of these choices conduct action potentials at the same velocity.

Answer 1

The choice that describes neurons with the fastest conduction velocity for action potentials is, thick, myelinated neurons. Myelin is a fatty white substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells, forming an electrically insulating layer. it is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Conduction of action potentials or impulses is faster in myelinated neurons as compared to the other neurons.
