A nerve of 12 micrometer has a conduction velocity of 70ms, what will be the conduction velocity for a nerve of 10 micrometer:
assistant
The correct answer is  Greater the diameter of a given nerve fibre greater is the speed of conduction. Thus a nerve fiber of diameter 10 micrometer will have a conduction speed less than that of a 12 micrometer nerve. So 60 will be the right answer.
