Transmission speed of Nerve A: 19 m/sec. Transmission speed of Nerve B: 45 m/sec.

Which one is myelinated? explain why.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans. MYELINATED is 45 m/ sec.( Peripheral nerve ) median sensory   

19m/sec. ( Intrafusal muscle fibres) -----> THIN MYELIN,, free nerve ending of touch and pressure Nociceptors of neospinothalamic tract cold thermoreceptor .

By jumping from node to node , the impulse can travel much more quickly( 120m/s) .myelinated axons transmit action potential faster than Unmyelinated axon.

Majorities of normal individual fall with in defined ranges : Age, sex, temperature,height,medical conditions etc.

By acting as an electrical insulator ,mylein greatly speeds up action potential conduction . Normal impulse in peripheral nerve of legs travel at 40-45 m/sec.

Myelinated nerve fibre is very fast compared to speed of blood flow, with some myelinated neurons conducting at speed up to 120 m/ sec. ( 432km/h or 275 mph).

A molecule of mass 2.0×10-24Kg is moving along at a speed of 100±10 m/sec, where the ±10 m/sec is the statistical spread or uncertainty in the determination of its velocity or ∆v = 10 m/sec. The molecule is somewhat localized in space and is described by a travelling wave packet solution to the Schrödinger equation centered around x=0 at t=0 and moving in the positive x-direction. What is the minimum statistical spread or uncertainty ∆x in the determination of its...

A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 19 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional force acts on the tires. Suddenly a long wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one-fourth of its dry-road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car?
