<span>Myelination enhances the speed of action potential propagation.
The difference between myelinated and unmyelinated axons are in the propagation of action potential. In unmyelinated axons, the action potential travels continuously through the axons. On the other hand, among the myelinated nerve fibres, transmembrane currents can only occur at the nodes of Ranvier where the axonal membrane is exposed, so the excitation of the axonal membrane jumps from node to node. This propagation is called saltatory conduction and this movement of depolarization wave is much faster than in unmyelinated fibres.</span>

What happens to the sodium and potassium ions when the neurons are stimulated? How does their concentration inside and outside t
stepan [7]

The two sides of a nerve cell membrane have unequally distributed ions ( Na+ and K+). Sodium is inside, while potassium is outside. Carriers actively transport them. This active transport mechanism is called Sodium-Potassium Pump. Without stimulus, sodium channels are closed while some of the potassium channels are open.

Stimulus (depolarization) will cause the sodium channels to briefly open and the positively-charged ion diffuses into the nerve cell. The membrane potential becomes positive. The potassium channels open and positively-charged potassium diffuse out. With respect to the outside, the inside will become less positive again.

In onlooker play a child actively observes other children playing and does not attempt to enter into the activity; the child is interested only in observation and not in participation. In parallel play children play independently among other children. In pretend play children act out any event of daily life and practice the roles and identities as established in their surroundings. In associative play children play together and are engaged in a similar or identical activity.
