In nerve conduction velocity experiment. if any of the nerves used were reversed in their placement on the stimulating and recording electrodes, would there be any differences seen in conduction of velocity?  I think not, but I'm not sure and couldn't possible explain why!   Face with Rolling Eyes

No. Once a neural membrane is depolarized and the impulse is being conducted along the neural membrane, which direction is which does not matter. We state that a neural impulse is set up in the neuron’s trigger zone (mainly due to the large number of sodium channels there) but once the depolarization is set up, it not only travels down the axon but also around the soma of the cell.
