At what speed are nerve impulses conducted in myelinated and unmyelinated neurons?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
In thick well insulated (myelinated) neurones the impulse can travel in excess of 100m/s.
In unmyelinated neurones the impulse can be conducted at less than 1m/s

What nueron conducts impulses faster?
Myelinated neurons conduct impulses faster than unmyelinated neurons.
Which impulses are faster myelinated or unmyelinated?
Neural transmission is different and MORE rapid in myelinated neurons
What impulse conduction is the fastest in neurons?
Axons conduct the nerve impulses. Dendrites receive the impulses. Possible the impulses go through the dendrites faster, though the synaptic cleft may slow this pathway. Dendrites are much shorter than axons.
What is impulse conduction is fastest in neurons?
Impulses that travel along myelinated neurons are the fastest.
Do action potential transmission is faster in myelinated neurons?
TRUE. Neurons with myelin (or myelinated neurons) conduct impulses much faster than those without myelin.
Are unmyelinated axons in the cerebral cortex?
The cerebral cortex contains the bodies of neurons which appear grey (grey matter). The layer under the cortex contains myelinated axons (white matter).
Myelinated neurons are embedded in what?
the axons of myelinated neurons are embeded in a protective covering of gray matter.
Are sensory olfactory neurons myelinated?
no
Which neuron is never myelinated?
Neurons that do not have a myelin sheath must use continuous conduction, which is slower. These are the smaller axons of the CNS, as well as some types of fine sensory fibers, such as olfactory nerves.
Neurons which are wrapped in a fatty membrane are?
myelinated
What are motor neurons?
Motor neurons are neurons which carry impulses from the Central Nervous System to muscles or glands. When an action potential is conducted by a motor neuron a muscle contracts or a product is released from a gland.
Are neurons that relay impulses from sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory Neurons
