Definitions:

Axon Terminals

The distal terminations of the branches of an axon, responsible for releasing neurotransmitters to transmit signals to other neurons or muscles.

Nerve Impulse Conduction

The process by which nerve cells (neurons) transmit electrical signals along their axons to communicate with other neurons or muscles.

Myelin Sheath

A fatty layer that surrounds the axons of some neurons, providing electrical insulation and increasing the speed at which nerve impulses are conducted.

Saltatory Conduction

The process by which nerve impulses jump from one Ranvier node to another, speeding up the transmission of electrical signals along myelinated neurons.
