Gill · Answer 1

The neurons that has the fastest conduction velocity for action potentials are the myelinated neurons. These neurons are thick and insulated with myelin which improves the conduction velocity of the impulses that travel through the neurons. The insulation removes the interferences that slows down the velocity.
