Saltatory conduction A)can occur in unmyelinated axons B)happens due to an even distribution of voltage-gated Na⁺ channels C)encodes only action potentials that are initiated in response to pain. D)occurs in unmyelinated axons and happens due to even distribution of voltage-gated Na⁺ channels E)occurs only in myelinated axons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saltatory conduction occurs only in myelinated axons, where the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next, increasing the speed of conduction.
