What units does the constant of proportionality between speed of impulse transport and unmyelinated axon radius have? A)m s^-1 B)m²s^-1 C)m^1/2s^-1 D)m^1/2s^-1/2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The constant of proportionality between the speed of impulse transport and unmyelinated axon radius has units of meters per square root of seconds (m/s^1/2), which matches choice C. This is because the speed of impulse transport in unmyelinated axons is proportional to the square root of the axon radius, implying a relationship with the square root of time in the denominator for the units of speed.
