The speed at which a neural impulse travels is increased when the axon is encased by an?
myelin sheath
How fast do neural impulses travel?
It really depends. Some neural impulses can travel as slow as 2 mph or at a speed of 200 or more mph. Even at this speed it's 3 million times slower than the speed of electricity through a wire
Does neural impulses travel faster than hormonal messages?
Nerve impulses move at nearly the speed of light. Hormones are chemicals that are released over a period of time to Crete changes in a multicellular organism. So, naturally, nerve impulses are faster.
A factor that determines the rate of impulse propagation or conduction velocity along an axon?
The speed at which neural impulses are transmitted. Diameter of the axon Degree of myelination of the axon
What is the primary function of the myelin sheath is to?
Myelin is a lipid which surrounds the axon and provides for faster and more complex neural conduction.
What happens when speed increases?
when speed increases, velocity changes.
When the speed of particles in a gas increases what els increases?
As the speed of the particles in gas increases the heat of gas increases as well.
What does the lifting force on an airplane wing do?
increases with speed
How is the induced voltage of separately excited dc generator affected if the speed increases?
as speed increases, induced voltage increases
What happens to a graph of time and distance as speed increases?
The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.
Does the speed of a wave increases as a wavelength increase?
the frequenzy increases, the speed of light is constant
What happens to the speed of sound if the temperature of the medium increases?
Speed of sound increase when temperature increases.
