In myelinated neurons, the nerve impulse exhibits a unique jumping behavior that significantly increases its velocity. Where does this 'jump' occur?
Q1. In myelinated neurons, the nerve impulse exhibits a unique jumping behavior that significantly increases its velocity. Where does this 'jump' occur?
Answer: Nodes of Ranvier
Explanation: Impulse jumps between nodes of Ranvier in saltatory conduction; myelin sheath is tempting but it acts as an insulator, not the jumping site.
