question 75

Multiple Choice

Which of the following regarding "saltatory conduction" is correct?

• A)Saltatory conduction occurs in unmyelinated nerve fibres.

• C) Saltatory conduction involves the impulse jumping from one node of Ranvier to the adjacent node.
• D) Saltatory conduction refers to the action potential spreading from one Schwann cell to the adjacent Schwann cell.
