How to calculate the speed of propagation of the nerve impulse in a nerve fiber?

∙ 11y ago
The velocity of nerve conduction is usually assessed by dissecting out a nerve fiber from an animal such as a frog. The nerve is placed in a chamber containing stimulating and recording electrodes. The responses of the nerve can be monitored using an oscilloscope. More detail on this procedure can be found in the related link.

Which of the following types of nerve fiber possesses the fastest speed of impulse propagation?
Type A
What is the difference in transmission between myelinated and unmyelinated fibers?
Impulse transmission on an unmyelinated nerve fiber is much slower than the impulse transmission on a myelinated nerve fiber.
What cause a nerve impulse move along the nerve fiber?
Electrical diferences.
What causes a nerve impulse move along the nerve fiber?
Electrical diferences.
How exitatory and inhibitory interact in normal nerve function?
propagation of impulse pre synaptic to post synaptic
What are mircroscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?
axon
Which of the following does not factor into the rate of impulse propagation?
Whether or not the impulse begins in the CNS influences the time necessary for a nerve impulse to be transmitted.
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?
axon
What is quicker a nerve impulse or a hormone?
nerve impulse
Nerve fiber arising from a slight elevation of the cell body that conducts an impulse away from the cell body?
axon
Where does a nerve impulse start?
A nerve impulse starts at the dendrite
Does nerve conduction use ATP?
True- it is a multifunctional nucleoside triphosphate that is used in cells as a coenzyme, and serves as a substrate in nerve impulse propagation.
