Factors that affect conduction rates (myelination, axon diameter & temperature)

By: HWC, Views: 7856

• Several factors determine the rate of conduction of action potentials: • Myelination • Axon diameter • Temperature • The step-by-step depolarization of an axon is called continuous conduction and occurs along unmyelinated axons. • Neurons in the PNS have many axons that ...
