Saltatory conduction is a mechanism of endocrine system regulation
|
|
|
Saltatory conduction is signal transduction of incoming messages through the membrane

|
|
Saltatory conduction is the influx of sodium ions during neuron impulse conduction
|
|
|
Saltatory conduction is transmission of nerve impulses along myelinated fibers
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In neuroscience, saltatory conduction (from Latin saltus ‘leap, jump’) is the propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to the next node, increasing the conduction velocity of action potentials.
Detailed explanation-2: -So the correct answer is ‘myelinated nerve fibres’.
