Nerve impulse transmissions occurring along myelinated neurons are called ________.
A) saltatory conduction
B) threshold
C) graded potential
D) sodium-potassium pump
E) all-or-none response

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve impulse transmissions occurring along myelinated neurons are called saltatory conduction. This is because the myelin sheath covering the axon allows the nerve impulse to jump from node to node, rather than traveling the entire length of the axon, which makes the impulse transmission faster and more efficient.
