Nerves _______ have the most rapid action potentials.
A) with the thinnest axon diameters
B) with myelin sheaths
C) of invertebrate animals
D) with the greatest membrane potential
E) with the most ion channels

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerves with myelin sheaths have the most rapid action potentials because the myelin sheath insulates the axon and allows for saltatory conduction, in which the action potential "jumps" from node to node, increasing the speed of transmission.
