the most rapid conduction of an impulse along an axon occurs on a fiber that is
thin and unmyelinated
thick and unmyelinated
thick and myelinated
thin and myelinated
Brief Explanations
Myelin sheath acts as an insulator, speeding up impulse conduction (saltatory conduction). Thicker fibers have less resistance to ion flow. So, thick myelinated fibers allow fastest impulse conduction.
