A car controlled by a computerized navigational guidance system is likely to respond more rapidly to sudden obstructions in its path than a car controlled by a human driver.This is primarily due to the fact that
A) a neuron's reaction is an all-or-none response.
B) an axon branches into junctions with many other neurons.
C) the fatty tissue layer that insulates axons slows the transmission of neural impulses.
D) the speed of neural impulses is much slower than the speed of electricity through a wire.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary reason a computerized system can respond more rapidly than a human is due to the difference in the speed of signal transmission. Electrical signals through wires (as in computers) travel much faster than neural impulses in the human body, allowing for quicker responses to sudden changes.
