Saltatory Conduction is: (A) Action potential through myelin sheath, (B) Action potential through nodes of Ranvier, (C) Action potential through axon proper, (D) Action potential through dentrites
Answer is B. (B) Action potential through nodes of Ranvier > Jumping of depolarisation from one node of Ranvier to the next in myelinated axons is called saltatory conduction.> It is rapid process and myelinated axons conduct up to 50 times faster than the fastest unmyelinated fibres.
