CONTINUOUS CONDUCTION OF IMPULSES IN PERIPHERAL MYELINATED NERVE FIBERS
1. Conduction of impulses in peripheral myelinated fibers of a nerve trunk is a continuous process, since with uninjured nerve fibers: (a) within each internodal segment the conduction time increases continuously and linearly with increasing conduction distance; (b) the presence of nodes of Ranvier...
