select all of these that describe a nerve impulse traveling down a myelinated axon.
the impulse travels the entire length of the axon, without skipping any areas
conduction is slower than in unmyelinated neurons
conduction is faster than in unmyelinated neurons
the impulse jumps from node to node
In myelinated axons, nerve - impulse conduction is saltatory, meaning the impulse jumps from node to node (nodes of Ranvier). This makes the conduction faster than in unmyelinated neurons. In unmyelinated neurons, the impulse travels the entire length of the axon without skipping areas.
