Relative to an unmyelinated axon, a myelinated neuron has (blank) membrane resistance and (blank) longitudinal resistance. A. high; high B. high; low C. high; similar D. low; high
Solution
B. high, low
Since Myelination is an insulator it serves to increase membrane resistance so that capacitance is decreased. While the longitudinal resistance is lower so that conduction can be done rapidly.
