Action potentials are conducted rapidly from one node of Ranvier to the next in a process called ________ conduction.

Action Potentials

Rapid electrical impulses that travel along the membrane of nerve cells or muscle fibers, initiating activity.

Node Of Ranvier

Gaps in the myelin sheath of nerve fibers where action potentials are generated in saltatory conduction.

Saltatory Conduction

The jumping of action potentials from node to node along a myelinated neuron, allowing for faster neural transmission.

  • Explain the functioning and sequential phases of an action potential.
