Question

19
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

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

thick and myelinated
