Summary Introduction

To review:

The difference between saltatory and continuous conduction.

Introduction:

The action potential that is generated in the neuron travels from its initiation point on axon to the axon terminal and then propagates to another neuron. This way, the information travels from one neuron to another. This propagation of action potential is known as conduction. the conductance of action potential is of two types: continuous and saltatory.
