Question

The speed of conduction of the nervous message is calculated by:

Answer 1

Answer:

The conduction velocity of the action potential is determined by measuring the distance traveled (length of the nerve in m) and dividing by the time (sec) taken to complete the reflex arc, also called the latency. Conduction velocity = distance (m)/time (sec). Measurement of distance is relatively straightforward.
