Does Saltatory conduction occurs because of the presence of salt NaCl around the neuron?
yes
What type of nervous system conduction occurs in myelinated axons?
Saltatory Conduction
Conduction along a myelinated axon is called?
It is called saltatory conduction. This describes the "jumping" of an action potential from node to node on a myelinated axon.
Does saltatory conduction occur on unmyelinated axons?
No. I advise you to look up what saltatory conduction is so you will understand why not rather than coming here to get the answers to your homework.
What is rapid conduction from node to node?
saltatory propagation
Saltatory conduction is made possible by?
the myelin sheath
What is Saltatory conduction made possible by?
Saltatory conduction is made possible by myelinated nerve fibers. This is the means through which one node of Ranvier will communicate with the next.
What is the node-to-node jumping regeneration of an action potential along a myelinated axon called?
saltatory conduction Saltatory conduction is derived from the Latin word saltare, which means leaping
Does saltatory conduction only occur in CNS?
Saltory conduction only occurs in the myelinated axons.
What type of axon allows saltatory conduction?
A myelinated axon
What is the myelin sheath's function?
The function of the myelin sheath is to insulate the axon of the neuron. When there are gaps in the sheath, known as nodes of Ranvier, the nerve impulse can jump from gap to gap, thus increasing greatly the speed of conduction of the nerve impulse. This is known as saltatory conduction.
