Decreased myelination of an axon would ________ the speed at which the electrochemical impulse travels down the axon.
A) decrease
B) increase
C) maximize
D) have no effect on

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelination acts as an insulator for the axon and allows for faster conduction of the electrochemical impulse. If there is decreased myelination, the impulse will be slower as there is less insulation to prevent the dissipation of the impulse.

Decreased Myelination of an Axon Would ________ the Speed at Which
