Axon Characteristics. Most neurons have only one axon; Transmit information away from the cell body; May or may not have a myelin covering; Axons can range dramatically in size. Some are as short as 0.1 millimeters, while others can over 3 feet long. The myelin surround the neurons protects the axon and aids in the speed of transmission. The myelin sheath is broken up by points known as the nodes of Ranvier or myelin sheath gaps. Electrical impulses are able to jump from one node to the next, which plays a role in speeding up transmission of the signal.
Challenge your athletes during their next agility training session by introducing this super-sized 40 wide agility ladder into training drills. These ladders allow athletes to train side by side. Fixed round rungs are 20 wide and 18 apart, creating 20 stepping areas.
This will allow enough length for proper setup, overlap of ladder sections, height restrictions of the highest standing level, and where appropriate, the extension of the ladder above the roof line. The highest standing level is four rungs down from the top. * Assumes a 5'6 person with a vertical 12 reach.
