Neurons may be classified according to several characteristics.Which of the following is correct?
A)Group C fibers are not capable of saltatory conduction.
B)Group B fibers are highly myelinated and have the highest conduction velocities.
C)A small cross- sectional area allows shorter conduction times.
D)Group A fibers are mostly somatic sensory and motor and are the smallest in diameter.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group C fibers are unmyelinated, which means they cannot perform saltatory conduction, a process that occurs in myelinated fibers.
