Question

When comparing conduction velocity between warm and cold temperatures, why would conduction velocity in warm  temperature have a higher range of conduction velocity values compared to the cold temperature data.?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Conduction velocity is the speed at which an electrical signal travels through a nerve or muscle.

The difference in conduction velocity between warm and cold temperatures is due to changes in the physical properties of the nerve or muscle fibers.
