Question
Chapter 11.2, Problem 16R
Summary Introduction
To describe: The relationship between myelin and the propagation speed of an action potential.
Introduction: The large stimuli that occur in the graded potential that can generate an action potential in the axon of the neuron are called action potential. Once the action potential is developed, the electrical impulses spread all over to the axon and toward the axon terminal.
