Answer:
The Nodes of Ranvier are only present when the axon of a neuron is myelinated. Myelination allows for an increased rate of action potential transmission due to action potentials "jumping" between Node of Ranvier, this is called saltatory conduction

Explanation:
The myelin sheath is wrapped around an axon in such a fashion, that there are a few gaps in between, these are called the Nodes of Ranvier. Simply put the impulse jumps from one node to the other node, hence called Saltatory Conduction.
