Consider the model of nerve conduction in myelinated axons


Consider the model of nerve conduction in myelinated axons presented in the chapter. Suppose the distance between the nodes of Ranvier was halved for a particular axon.

a) How would this affect the resistance and the capacitance of one segment of the axon?

b) How would this affect the time constant for the charging of one segment?

c) How would this affect the signal propagation speed for the axon?
