The orange segments along the axon speed neural transmission via:
- Acheck_circle
Saltatory conduction between nodes of Ranvier
- B
Continuous depolarization at every point
- C
Reuptake of neurotransmitter
- D
Electrical synapses bypassing the cleft
Explanation
Myelin insulates the axon, forcing action potentials to "jump" between unmyelinated nodes of Ranvier—a process called saltatory conduction—dramatically increasing speed.
