In Saltatory conduction, the signal leaps or hops from node of Ranvier to another. It uses less energy and it faster. In continuous conduction, the nerve is bare of myelin, moves in continuous waves and the signal is slower.

What type of conduction takes place in an unmyelinated axons?

Continuous conduction.


Why is saltatory conduction relatively rapid compared to continuous conduction?

Saltatory conduction is faster than continuous conduction because in saltatory conduction, the electrical signal jumps between nodes of Ranvier on the myelinated axon, skipping the sections covered by myelin. This allows the signal to travel faster as it doesn't have to travel the entire length of the axon.


How is saltatory conduction different from continuous conduction?

Saltatory conduction occurs in myelinated neurons where the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next, speeding up the transmission of signals. In comparison, continuous conduction occurs in unmyelinated neurons where the action potential moves along the entire length of the axon, which is slower than saltatory conduction.

Is convection a chemical reaction?

no it is a type of conduction that can happen in liquids and gases, conduction happens in solids, and radiation happens in gases


What are the differences of conduction and convection?

Convection has a cycle of what happens. Conduction dosent have a cycle


Why is the saltatory conduction significantly faster than continuous conduction?

Saltatory conduction is faster than continuous conduction because it occurs in myelinated neurons where action potentials jump from one node of Ranvier to the next, skipping the myelinated regions in between. This allows for a more efficient transmission of the action potential, as the signal travels quicker and with less energy expenditure.


What happens to the particles in objects during conduction?

When a body is conducting, its mobility of ions( valence) is responsible for conduction. As mobility increase, conduction increase. That's why falling temperature reduce it and rising temperature increase it.
