The action potential does not decrease in strength as it moves; it is regenerated at each point along the axon, maintaining its strength. In myelinated axons, action potentials jump from node to node (saltatory conduction), which is different from the continuous propagation in unmyelinated axons.

As the Action Potential Moves Down the Line,its Strength Decreases
