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.

Why might you think a nerve cell in your leg be a meter long?
Cells come in many sizes. They all aren't the same
The effector cell responds to a nerve impulse and can be either a muscle cell or a gland cell.
What causes Pins and needles in arms during sleep?
Sometimes it happens when a limb has had a shortage of circulation for a while, and then the circulation is restored. You might be in a position where you are resting on a limb in such a way that circulation is interrupted.

It only took a moment to realize that one hand had gone completely numb under the pillow, so my brain didn't get the message that the hand under the pillow was mine.
What carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.

The left side of the body. And vice versa.
Where are the cell bodies for the second order neurons located?
Second order neuron cell bodies reside in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
Saltatory conduction is made possible by gaps in the myelin sheath (called nodes of Ranvier) along the axon, which allow for the action potential to "jump" from one node to the other, increasing conduction velocity.
