Saltatory conduction is the term describes the hopping of the action potential nerve impulse along the axon from one node of Ranvier to the next.

Saltatory conduction describes the way an electrical impulse skips from node to node down the full length of an axon, speeding the arrival of the impulse at the nerve terminal in comparison with the slower continuous progression of depolarization spreading down an unmyelinated axon.

The nodes of Ranvier are characterized by short (1um), specialized regions in the axonal membrane that are not insulated by myelin. Although it is bare of myelin at the node, the axon is in direct contact with the microvilli of the Schwann cells in the PNS.

Would we have the Same countries If Pangea existed? And would we look the same?explain please
Natalija [7]
I don’t think we would have the same countries. i feel like everything would be connected, like maybe a few really big countries instead of hundreds of different countries. i feel we would look different that how we already look because there would be more of different type of people around each other, resulting in mixed race reproducing.
