Loss of myelin from neurons would be expected to:
A)Speed up neuronal conduction
B)Greatly impair neuronal conduction
C)Increase the amplitude of the action potential
D)Prevent the removal of dead nerve cells in the brain

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelin acts as an insulator around neurons and speeds up the transmission of electrical signals. Loss of myelin would impair neuronal conduction, leading to slower and less efficient transmission of signals.
