Do Action Potentials Travel Faster On Thin Myelinated Axons?
Do Action Potentials Travel Faster On Thin Myelinated Axons? Action potentials travel faster on thin, myelinated axons than on thick, myelinated axons. What structures are involved in electrical synapses? Do action potentials travel faster in myelinated axons? By acting as an electrical insulator, myelin greatly speeds up action potential conduction (Figure 3.14). For example, whereas
