Chapter 9, Problem 20CA

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why the myelin sheath covering an entire axon (with nodes of Ranvier) will inhibit the conduction of an impulse.

Introduction: The large stimuli that occur in the graded potential can generate action potential in the axon of the neuron is called action potential. Once action potential is developed, the electrical impulses spread all over the axon and toward the axon terminal.
