Action Potentials are Conducted More Rapidly When Transmission Is

Question

Action potentials are conducted more rapidly when transmission is
A) from node to node on a myelinated axon.
B) on a small diameter axon.
C) on an unmyelinated axon.
D) from internode to internode.
E) from internode to node on a myelinated axon.

Accepted Answer

Myelinated axons conduct action potentials more rapidly due to saltatory conduction, where the impulse jumps from node to node (Nodes of Ranvier), bypassing the internodes.
