Now consider the differences that you might expect to observ

Now, consider the differences that you might expect to observe if recording from myelinated neurons rather than an unmyelinated neuron. The following three images display three different neurons, each with a different dgree of myelination( the shaded teal regions surrounding segments of the axon). Examine the image and answer the questions that follow.

1. indicate what kind of potential conduction exists in each neuron?

Solution

1)

Neuron type A will show simple action potential conduction ( CONTINIOUS CONDUCTION).

Nuron type B and type C will show SALTATORY CONDUCTION, that is action potential will jump from one node of ranveir to other resulting in increasing speeds

2) Neuron type A will show (CONTINIOUS CONDUCTION) simple action potential propagation hence will be slowest

and neuron type C has wider distanced nodes of ranvier hence saltatory conduction wlll be most fast in there.

Hope that helps feel free to comment and discuss .. I will be glad to help your related querries .. Regards
