During an action potential,the charge seems to "jump" from node to node,rather than flow continuously down the axon,a process known as:
A)saltatory conduction.
B)the all-or-none rule.
C)hyperpolarization.
D)myelination.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saltatory conduction refers to the process where the action potential jumps from node to node along a myelinated axon, rather than flowing continuously down the entire length of the axon. This is made possible by the insulating properties of the myelin sheath, which helps to conserve the electrical charge and allows for faster transmission of the nerve impulse.
