EasyExplain the node of Ranvier.
(N/A) The gaps between two adjacent myelin sheaths are known as nodes of Ranvier.
These nodes are essential for the saltatory conduction of nerve impulses,where the action potential jumps from one node to the next,significantly increasing the speed of transmission.
Myelinated nerve fibres are typically found in the cranial nerves and spinal nerves.
