nerveledningshastighed
Nerveledningshastighed refers to the speed at which electrical impulses, known as action potentials, travel along a nerve fiber. This speed is a critical factor in the efficiency of the nervous system, determining how quickly signals can be transmitted from one part of the body to another. Factors influencing nerve conduction velocity include the diameter of the nerve fiber and the presence of myelin, a fatty insulating sheath that wraps around many nerve axons.
Larger diameter nerve fibers generally conduct impulses faster than smaller ones. This is because a larger
Nerve conduction velocity is measured using electrophysiological techniques, such as nerve conduction studies (NCS). These tests
