Where are voltage gated sodium channels concentrated in myelinated axon?
In myelinated axons, the voltage gated sodium ions are located along the nodes of Ranvier, the exposed places between the myelin segments. The gates here, however, are not particularly more concentrated than on other un-myelinated axons. TRUE
Why node of ranvier is present on myelinated axon?
Nodes of ranvier are locations of bare cell membrane between segments of myelinated cell membrane. Ion channels responsible for repropagation of action potentials are concentrated at these nodes. Unmyelinated axons have ion channels all over their cell membranes since they do not have myelin segments.
In a myelinated fiber only the initial segment in the trigger zone have voltage-regulated channels?
In a myelinated fiber, voltage-regulated channels are concentrated at the nodes of Ranvier along the axon. These nodes are where action potentials are regenerated, allowing for faster conduction of the electrical signal compared to unmyelinated fibers. The initial segment before the first node acts as the trigger zone for action potential initiation.
Are the nodes of ranvier found at a regular interval only on myelinated peripheral nerve fibers?
No, the nodes of Ranvier are found at regular intervals on both myelinated central and peripheral nerve fibers. They are gaps in the myelin sheath where the axon is exposed, allowing for the propagation of action potentials along the nerve fiber.
Movement of impulse from one node of Ranvier to the next node of Ranvier is termed?
Saltatory conduction. It involves the jumping of action potentials from one node of Ranvier to the next along a myelinated axon, resulting in faster propagation of the signal compared to propagation in non-myelinated axons.
Are all the gated calcium channels concentrated at the nodes of ranvier of myelinated axons?
no, most gated mandiable channels are concentrated at the nodes of ranvier of myelinated axons.

What is the difference between an internode and node of ranvier?
A Node of Ranvier is the space between two myelinated segments on an axon, while an internode is the space between two Nodes of Ranvier (alternativenly, the myelinated segment).
Where are action potentials regenerated as they propagate along a myelinated axon?
First at the axon hillock where the neural impulse is initially triggered, and then at the nodes of Ranvier as the impulse continues to travel along the axon.(Note that the impulse travels as electrotonic conduction between the nodes of Ranvier, underneath the glial cells which myelinate the axon.)
How the saltatory conduction works?
Saltatory conduction is a process by which action potentials "jump" from one Node of Ranvier to another along a myelinated axon, effectively speeding up the transmission of electrical signals. The myelin sheath insulates the axon, forcing the action potential to only occur at the Nodes of Ranvier, where the ion channels are concentrated. This allows for faster propagation of the action potential compared to continuous conduction along unmyelinated axons.
The neurolemma and the myelin of the myelinated axons are interrupted at regular intervals along the axon by?
The gap between each myelinated section of an axon is known the node of ranvier.
Are the nodes of ranvier only found on myelinated peripheral neuron processes?
Yes.
What refers to the constiction or gaps that occurs between the Schwann cells that are for impulse conduction in myelinated fibers?
Nodes of Ranvier
Where do axon collaterals emerge on a myelinated nerve?
Axon collaterals emerge from the main axon at regular intervals called Nodes of Ranvier on a myelinated nerve. These points are where the myelin sheath is interrupted, allowing axon collaterals to branch off and communicate with other neurons or muscle fibers.
