Problem
All this question are related to earthworm lab where we learn how the earthworm's Lateral and Medial Giant Nerve Fibers transmit sensory information:
a) Explain why changing the temperature changes the conduction velocity.
b) What are the major factors that influence nerve conduction velocity? Why have insects developed giant axons?
c) What is the conduction velocity of the myelinated ?-motor neurons in mammals?
d) What is myelination and why does it increase conduction velocity?
