Which Conducts an Action Potential Faster and Why

Multiple Choice

Which conducts an action potential faster and why?

A) myelinated fibers; the action potential moves through the myelin which allows it to travel faster
B) myelinated fibers; the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to another
C) unmyelinated fibers; the absence of myelin allows the action potential to travel faster
D) unmyelinated fibers; the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to another
E) unmyelinated fibers; the ions can move in and out of the cell faster without the myelin coating
