A)slower speeds than
B)faster speeds than
C)the same speed
D)variable speeds,sometimes faster and sometimes slower than

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonmyelinated axons conduct action potentials slower than myelinated axons because myelination allows for saltatory conduction, where the action potential jumps between nodes of Ranvier, increasing speed.
