Saltatory conduction occurs in
A) myelinated axons, where action potentials occur only at neurofibril nodes.
B) myelinated axons, where action potentials occur only under the myelin sheath.
C) myelinated axons, where action potentials occur continuously down the entire axon.
D) unmyelinated axons, where action potentials occur continuously down the entire axon.
E) the axon terminal, where full-size action potentials occur at the hillock.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saltatory conduction occurs in myelinated axons, where action potentials jump from one node of Ranvier (neurofibril node) to the next, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses.
