In this video, I look at Saltatory conduction and explore how it is responsible for moving the action potential quickly along the axon and down to the axon terminals. See how the Myelin Sheaths influence the speed of propagation.

In episode 24, I respond to Nicodube23's question on How the Myelin Sheaths speed up the Action Potential through the process of Saltatory Conduction. Watch, learn and Enjoy!

Oligodendrocytes are overwhelming! Join Alie Astrocyte as she explains why the glial cell known as the oligodendrocyte is so important, and why myelin sheaths matter.
