Function Action potential propagation in myelinated neurons is faster than in unmyelinated neurons because of Saltatory conduction. (17 words)
The sheath enables action potentials to travel faster than in unmyelinated axons of the same diameter, whilst using less energy. (20 words)
There are two types of axons occurring in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system: unmyelinated and myelinated axons. (21 words)
Because the A-delta fiber is thicker than the C fiber, and is thinly sheathed in an electrically insulating material ( myelin ), it carries its signal faster (5–30 m/s ) than the unmyelinated C fiber (0.5–2 m/s). (40 words)
Thus in a myelinated axon, action potentials effectively "jump" from node to node, bypassing the myelinated stretches in between, resulting in a propagation speed much faster than even the fastest unmyelinated axon can sustain. (34 words)
Initial segment The axon initial segment — the thick, unmyelinated part of an axon that connects directly to the cell body — consists of a specialized complex of proteins. (27 words)
