Question

which one is the answer?

**The Nodes of Ranvier** **Group of Answer Choices:** 1. Are areas of dendrites that allow for greater signaling for long-term memory 2. Areas of the nerve terminal that release neurotransmitter 3. Specific neurons found in the hippocampus 4. Area of myelinated axons that contain high number of ion channels In the context of neural structure, the Nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath of nerve cells. These nodes are crucial for facilitating rapid signal transmission along myelinated axons by enabling saltatory conduction. This process significantly increases the speed of electrical impulses as they jump from node to node.
