Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The process of saltatory conduction.
Introduction:
Saltatory conduction is the way an electrical impulsejumps from one node to the next node down the length of an axon, speeding the impulse that arrives at the terminal of an axonand competes with the slow continuous progression of laying down an unmyelinated axon.
