Saltatory conduction occurs due to _______________(a) axon hillock(b) soma(c) myelin sheath(d) nodes of ranvierI got this question in an interview.Query is from Cellular Membranes topic in chapter Cellular Membranes of Cell Biology

Answer»

Correct option is (c) myelin SHEATH

For explanation: Saltatory conduction OCCURS due to the PRESENCE of lipid-rich myelin sheath on the length of the axon. Due to this the action potential jumps from one NODE to the other, resulting in faster action potential TRANSMISSION.
