The scenario
In a myelinated axon, action potentials jump between Nodes of Ranvier, enabling rapid conduction speed while conserving energy.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Whether to skip explaining passive current spread
02
Whether to include a loop for repeating nodes
03
Whether to include myelin's role explicitly
This diagram is useful for teaching neurophysiology, explaining how myelination speeds up neural signaling in multiple sclerosis or Guillain-Barré syndrome.
