In a myelinated neuron, an impulse travels via a process called saltatory conduction. The myelin sheath, which insulates the axon, allows the action potential to jump between the nodes of Ranvier—gaps in the myelin. This jumping significantly increases the speed of impulse transmission compared to unmyelinated neurons, as it minimizes the depolarization of the membrane and reduces the time needed for the entire length of the axon to depolarize. Consequently, myelinated neurons conduct impulses more efficiently and rapidly.
What else can I help you with?
Does impulse travel faster along myelinated neuron?
Yes, impulses travel faster in myelinated axon rather than in unmyelinated. It is mostly due to nodes of Ranvier. Instead of travel along the axon, in myelinated axon impulses "jump" from node to node. Also there are two types of myelinated axons: type A and type B. (Type C in unmyelinated axon.) Type A is the fastest among all of them.
What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
The speed of nerve impulse transmission through the axon of a sensory neuron will be quickest in?
I'm guessing; "myelinated nerve fibres" contrary to the much slower "non-myelinated nerve fibres"
Does a worm have a myelinated or non-myelinated neuron?
non-myelinated
In what order does an impulse travel through the structures of the neuron?

What is a neuron impulse?
it is neuron impulse
Are the nodes of ranvier only found on myelinated peripheral neuron processes?
Yes.
At what speed are nerve impulses conducted in myelinated and unmyelinated neurons?
In thick well insulated (myelinated) neurones the impulse can travel in excess of 100m/s. In unmyelinated neurones the impulse can be conducted at less than 1m/s
How long does it take for an impulse to travel from one neuron to another?
one second
What generate and transmit nerve impulse?
A sensory stimulus can generate a neural impulse, as can repeated or multiple inputs of neural signals from other neurons.A neural signal is transmitted from one neuron to anotheracross a synapse via chemicals called neurotransmitters, and a neural impulse is transmitted along an axon of a neuron by either an action potential (in an unmyelinated axon) or by saltatory conduction (in a myelinated axon).
What is speed of myelinated neuron?
50 m/sec
What is the difference in transmission between myelinated and unmyelinated fibers?
Impulse transmission on an unmyelinated nerve fiber is much slower than the impulse transmission on a myelinated nerve fiber.
