Which of the Following is Most Related to "Saltatory Conduction

Question

Which of the following is most related to "saltatory conduction"?
A) Dendrites
B) Choroid plexus
C) Nodes of Ranvier
D) Astrocytes

Accepted Answer

Saltatory conduction refers to the rapid conduction of nerve impulses along myelinated axons, where the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next, rather than traveling in a continuous manner along the axon. Dendrites are not involved in the process of saltatory conduction. Choroid plexus is a specialized tissue in the brain that produces cerebrospinal fluid, which has no direct connection to saltatory conduction. Astrocytes are glial cells that provide support and metabolic functions for neurons, but they are not directly involved in the process of saltatory conduction.
