The exposed,unmyelinated gaps between glia on myelinated axons are also sites of voltage-gated Na⁺ channels.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The exposed gaps between glia on myelinated axons are called nodes of Ranvier, and they contain voltage-gated sodium channels which help in the rapid conduction of action potentials along the axon. These channels are specifically referred to as NaV1.6 or NaV1.7 channels.
