Saltatory conduction refers to the propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to the next node. It increases the conduction velocity of action potentials.

What type of energy transfer is the transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity?
Because of molecular vibration the heat transferred through a solid is called CONDUCTION
Is tongue freezing to to a metal pole are conduction convection or radiation?
The metal pole rapidly 'CONDUCTS' heat away from your tongue.
What are the three forms of heat transfer?
convection conduction and radiation
Does a blanket keep you warm because of conduction or convection?
Conduction
What is a source of conduction?
Conduction itself can have no source. Conduction is the action of moving kinetic energy through particles using vibration.
What is an antonym for salutatory?
Closing; dismissal
Is there an example of grade 6 salutatory address?
yes
What is the difference between salubrious salutatory salutary?
"Salubrious" means healthy or promoting health. "Salutatory" relates to greetings or welcoming. "Salutary" means beneficial or promoting improvement.
How does myelination effect nerve conduction?
Myelination will speed the nerve conduction velocity considerably. Myelin is found in Schwann cells which encircle a given axon. It acts mainly as an insulator so that depolarization in one cell does not set off depolarizations in adjoining cells. When a neural membrane is depolarized, local currents are set up between positive and negative ions causing membrane conduction. In myelinated fibers, the local currents go from one internode (or node of Ranvier) in between two Schwann cells to the next internode. Thus we have "salutatory conduction" where a neural impulse actually jumps from one internode to the next without being conducted down the entire cell membrane.

What happens at each layer of the earth?
Conduction, Convection, Conduction,Convection, Conduction, Radiation
What part of the plant is the conduction system?
Conduction
What are some characteristics of conduction?
Characteristics for conduction
What is the differ of conduction and convection?
conduction by itself is slower to heat but conduction and convection is faster to heat
