A neuron with _______ would be expected to have the slowest-moving action potential.
A) a well-myelinated, thick axon
B) many nodes of Ranvier
C) an unmyelinated, thick axon
D) an unmyelinated, thin axon

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unmyelinated axons have slower conduction velocities compared to myelinated axons, and thinner axons have slower conduction velocities compared to thicker axons. Therefore, an unmyelinated, thin axon would be expected to have the slowest-moving action potential.
