Postganglionic Axons Are

Question

Postganglionic axons are
A) myelinated.
B) unmyelinated.
C) sometimes myelinated and sometimes unmyelinated.

Accepted Answer

Postganglionic axons are unmyelinated, which allows for slower transmission of signals and more branching of the axon. This is in contrast to preganglionic axons, which are myelinated to allow for fast transmission of signals over long distances.
