Questions: The function of myelin is to 11 Multiple Choice 02-09:21 block the transmission of a nerve impulse. provide points of attachment for nerve threads. produce faster nerve impulse propagation. produce slow but continuous impulse conduction.

The answer is the third one (or C): produce faster nerve impulse propagation.

Explanation for each option:

• Block the transmission of a nerve impulse: This is incorrect. Myelin does not block nerve impulses; rather, it facilitates their transmission.
• Provide points of attachment for nerve threads: This is incorrect. Myelin does not serve as an attachment point for nerve threads. Its primary role is related to the conduction of nerve impulses.
• Produce faster nerve impulse propagation: This is correct. Myelin sheaths insulate nerve fibers and allow for faster transmission of electrical signals through a process called saltatory conduction, where the impulse jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next.
• Produce slow but continuous impulse conduction: This is incorrect. Myelin actually speeds up the conduction of nerve impulses rather than slowing them down.

Summary: The function of myelin is to produce faster nerve impulse propagation.
