Which of the following is true about myelin?
| a. | myelin is what gives white matter its characteristic color |
| b. | myelin is important for electrical conductance within a neuron |
| c. | myelin is important for chemical transmission |
| d. | all of the above |
| e. | (a) & (c) |
| f. | (a) & (b) |
Homework Answers
The answer is Option F, both A & B. This is because myelinated neurons are referred to as “white matter”. Also, the myelin sheath insulates the neurons and thus speeds up the process of electrical conductance within a neuron. It however, plays no role in the chemical transmission part.

Which of the following statements correctly characterizes synapses? Synaptic vesicles constitute important features for transmission in both chemical and electrical synapses A postsynaptic neuron typically receives input from different presynaptic axons that are either excitatory or inhibitory, but it cannot receive inputs from both types Synaptic delay is approximately the same for both chemical and electrical synapses Receptors can provide a gating function with respect to a given ion channel The mechanism of indirect gating of ions normally does not...
