NCERT based Answer for Class 11 Biology Students
In a myelinated nerve fiber, membrane depolarization occurs only at nodes and the impulse appears to leap from node to node. This type of impulse conduction is called saltatory conduction.
Saltatory conduction is more energy efficient as less ATP is required for depolarization of nodes only as compared to every adjacent point in case of continuous conduction.
