C) Decreases the capacitance of the axon mem brane m ainly by decreasing the dielectric
constant within the membrane
D) Increases the capacitance of the axon mem brane mainly by increasing the separation
between the inside and the outside
E) Increases the capacitance of the axon mem brane mainly by increasing the surface area

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelin decreases the capacitance of the axon membrane mainly by increasing the separation between the inside and outside, allowing for faster signal transmission.
