Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Saltatory conduction
Saltatory conduction is a form of nerve impulse conduction in which the impulse jumps from one Ranvier's node to the next, rather than traveling the entire length of the nerve fibre. It is the propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to the next.
