Solution

The correct option is B nodes of Ranvier
In a myelinated neuron the voltage gated channel are present in the nodes of nodes of Ranvier. At these nodes, myeline sheaths are absent. This allows the rapid transmission of action potentials across the length of axons.

Q. A list of events occurring in the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse is given below in a random order.
(i) Opening of specific ion channels allows the entry of ions, a new action potential is generated in the post-synaptic neuron.
