Which statement is incorrect?
A) A local current can occur in myelinated nerve fibers.
B) A local current flow from an active to an adjacent inactive area decreases the potential in the inactive area to threshold.
C) Contiguous conduction occurs along Schwann cells that surround myelinated nerve fibers.
D) Saltatory conduction is faster than contiguous conduction.
E) Conduction by local current flow is the method of propagation in unmyelinated fibers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contiguous conduction does not occur along Schwann cells in myelinated fibers; instead, saltatory conduction occurs, where the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next.
