The propagation of action potential can either occur via saltatory or continuous conduction. Saltatory conduction is the jumping of action potential from node to node along a myelinated axon while continuous conduction is the transmission of signal along unmyelinated axon. In the diagrambelow, you can see how myelin assists in saltatory conduction (right), which is much faster than continuous conduction (left).

Summation is the process of adding up of graded potentials in order to generate an action potential. In spatial summation, the stimuli is from several sources at the same time while in temporal summation the stimuli is from several stimulations released in rapid succession by a single source.
