A model for nerve conduction for a unit of the axon based on resistance and capacitance of the axon is shown. Typical values of R’s andCfor a 1 mm long section of myelinatedmammalian skeletal axon are given below. About what is the expected time for charge to move 1 mm through the axoplasm and charge C to 63% of its maximum value using this model? Raxon=6 ×106Ω (axoplasm resistance)
Rwall=2 ×109Ω (wall resistance)
C=3 ×10−12F (capacitance across wall)
