A myelinated neuron | Anima

Fig 1Saltatory conductionSpace: pause or resume · focus terminal for synapse−70 mV

Schematic saltatory-conduction model. The waveform and propagation timing are illustrative, not a recording.

Representative educational values: resting potential ≈ −70 mV ( OpenStax Biology 2e, “How Neurons Communicate” ); action-potential peak ≈ +40 mV ( Neuroscience Online, “Resting Potentials and Action Potentials” ). These are representative endpoints cited from separate teaching references, not a single recorded cell trace; values vary with neuron and conditions.

For education only; this figure is not medical advice.
