What is the propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to another called?
A) Nonmyelinated
B) Saltatory conduction
C) Polarization
D) Refractory period

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to another is called saltatory conduction. This process is faster and more energy efficient than nonmyelinated axons. Polarization refers to the separation of electric charge across a membrane, and the refractory period is the time when the neuron cannot generate another action potential.
