Which one of the following describes saltatory conduction?
Q. Which one of the following describes saltatory conduction:
- occurs only if the myelin sheath is continuous
- occurs only if the nodes of Ranvier are lacking
- occurs only in the absence of axon hillocks
- is faster than conduction on an unmyelinated fiber
- is slower than conduction on an unmyelinated fiber
Answer: is faster than conduction on an unmyelinated fiber
