    Action Potential/Myelination

    I have a sort of stupid question. I had this pretty simple question on an exam and it has been bothering me ever since. True or False: Myelination increases the speed of an action potential. Now, if the question stated, “Myelination increases the conduction speed of an action potential”, I...

    Action Potentials

    Hi all, Are the action potentials of a motor neuron different from the action potential of a fiber membrane? Am I right in saying that the motor neuron resting potential is approx -90mV while that of the fiber membrane is approx -75mV? Thanks in advance.
