In a myelinated neuron,the action potential:
A)Travels more slowly than in an unmyelinated neuron
B)Jumps from synapse to synapse
C)Is conducted down the uninsulated parts of the dendrites
D)Travels faster than in an unmyelinated neuron

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelin acts as an insulating layer around the axon, allowing for saltatory conduction, where the action potential jumps from node to node, increasing conduction velocity. Therefore, the action potential in a myelinated neuron travels faster than in an unmyelinated neuron.
