Saltatory conduction is faster than transmission along the entire axon membrane due to the 'jumping' impulse between nodes.
Saltatory conduction is faster than impulse transmission along the entire axon membrane because the impulse jumps between nodes.
| Front | What method of impulses is faster, saltatory conduction or along the axon membrane. |
|---|---|
| Back | saltatory conduction because impulse jumps from node to node |
