Impulse propagation and conductions Flashcards
1
Q
Impulse propagation
The ________ with an action potential in one reigion stimulates action potential in the _____ region, so it is ________ along the axon.
A
depolarization, adjacent, propogated in 1 direction
2
Q
Continuous conduction
-occurs in what neurons
-where does the action potentials take place
-is it slower or fasted
A
-unmyelinated
-across every location on the membrane
-slower
3
Q
Saltatory conduction
-occurs in what neurons
-where do action potentials take place
-slower or faster
A
-myelinated
-at the nodes of ranvier (jumps)
-faster
