Conduction velocity increase:
1) passive signal spread
2) active signal propagation
1) passive signal spread
2) active signal propagation
1) increases linearly to fiber diameter, the potential is decaying exponentially
2) increases with the square root of the fiber diameter
In myelinated fibers there is a LINEAR relationship between axon diameter and conduction velocity!!!
2) increases with the square root of the fiber diameter
In myelinated fibers there is a LINEAR relationship between axon diameter and conduction velocity!!!
