Saltatory Conduction

Item #1 of 10

Saltatory conduction _____________________.

depends on the energy supplied by ATP produced in the neuron;

depends on the sodium-potassium pumps found in the axonal membrane;

saves the neuron energy;

slows down the conduction of action potentials;

none of the alternatives are correct;

CORRECT - Yes, saltatory conduction saves energy by reducing the need for sodium-potassium pump in the conduction process.
