La conducción saltatoria del impulso nervioso presenta mas ventajas que la continua por que

Answers

La conducción saltatoria es más rapida que la conducción continua ya que su axón mielinizado transmite mucho mas rapido el impulso nervioso que uno no mielinizado.
El diametro del axón también influye en la conducción del impulso. Los axones de mayor diametro propagan impulsos nervioso a mayor velocidad que los axones de menor diametro. A mayor diametro existe una mayor superfice de membrana en donde se produce el desplazamiento de iones.
La conducción saltatoria utiliza menos energía que la conducta continua.
