1.What is the finding, i.e. effect of axon diameter & myelination on conduction velocity? Why?
- What type of information do large, myelinated axons carry? What about small unmyelinated axons?
- Assume the motor neuron for a flexor withdrawal reflex is myelinated, with a diameter of 300 um. What would be the effect on the flexor withdrawal reflex if the motor neuron was replaced with one that had a diameter of 100 um?
- Describe how the disease multiple sclerosis can cause weakness and possibly paralysis.
Write a title of the paper, e.g. “The effect of axon diameter and myelination on nerve conduction velocity”. The paper should include these sections, 1. Introduction 2. Results (based on your figure) and 3. Discussion/Conclusion. Materials and methods part are not included, as the data were given.
