New cards

Step 1

Action potential is generated at one node

2
New cards

Step 2

Excess positive ions in the cytosol- diffuse rapidly down the axon

3
New cards

Step 3

Diffusing positive ions- cause sufficient depolarization at the next node to induce an action potential

4
New cards

Action potential jumps from

node to node along the axon
