Which of the following evolutionary adaptations would result in an increase in the speed of conduction of action potentials by increasing the membrane resistance of the axon?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelination of axons increases the membrane resistance, which reduces the leakage of ions from the axon. This allows action potentials to jump between the nodes of Ranvier in a process called saltatory conduction, significantly increasing the speed of action potential propagation.
