The gap in the myelin sheath is known as
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Nodes of Ranvier
Axon of the neuron is surrounded by a sheath called myelin sheath. However, at the areas called nodes of Ranvier, the myelin sheath is not present and hence a gap is created. It helps in the easy conduction of action potential during saltatory conduction.So, the correct answer is 'Nodes of Ranvier'.
