B)increased resistance across membrane
C)increased capacitance across membrane
D)increased transport of potassium across membrane

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased resistance across the membrane is true at the myelinated area of the axon (i.e., not at the node of Ranvier) because the myelin sheath acts as an insulator, reducing the flow of ions across the membrane.

At the Myelinated Area of the Axon (I
