Saltatory Conduction is

A
Action potential through myelin sheath
B
Action potential through nodes of Ranvier
C
Action potential through axon proper
D
Action potential through dentrites
High-Yield Explanation
(B) Action potential through nodes of Ranvier > Jumping of depolarisation from one node of Ranvier to the next in myelinated axons is called saltatory conduction.> It is rapid process and myelinated axons conduct up to 50 times faster than the fastest unmyelinated fibres.
