Myelinated Neurons Action Potentials Hop Nodes Ranvier Gaps

In myelinated neurons, action potentials 'hop' between the nodes of Ranvier, which are gaps in the myelin sheath.

Dans les neurones myélinisés, les potentiels d'action sautent entre les nœuds de Ranvier (espaces dans la gaine de myéline).
