Fast nerve fibers are ______ and conduct neural impulses at about ______ meters per second.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fast nerve fibers are myelinated and conduct neural impulses at about 15 to 30 meters per second. Large fibers conduct neural impulses at a much faster rate of 70 to 120 meters per second, while unmyelinated fibers conduct neural impulses at a slower rate of 0.5 to 2 meters per second. Small fibers also conduct neural impulses at a slower rate of 15 to 30 meters per second.
