Saltatory conduction describes:
A) the taking of an electrical charge reading during an action potential.
B) rapid change in potential occurring during an action potential.
C) the influx of sodium.
D) the jumping of action potentials from one node to another.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saltatory conduction refers to the jumping of action potentials from one node to another, specifically in myelinated axons. This type of conduction allows for faster transmission of signals compared to continuous conduction in unmyelinated axons.
