AP propagation is faster in neurons with large diameter axons than in neurons with small diameter axons because

Question

AP propagation is faster in neurons with large diameter axons than in neurons with small diameter axons because

Accepted Answer

current can flow further electrotonically before an AP has to be regenerated

Answer

neurons with large diameter axons have shorter refractory periods

Answer

electrotonic current flow is faster in large diameter axons

Answer

large diameter axons have a higher density of voltage-gated Na +  channels

Answer

small diameter axons have a higher density of voltage-gated Na +  channels
