saltatory

The cuckoos show what is called saltatory or transilient wing moults.

Nature hates calculators; her methods are saltatory and impulsive.

This process, termed saltatory conduction, is featured in a majority of physiology textbooks.

The length of axons' myelinated segments is important to the success of saltatory conduction.

Saltatory conduction has also been found in the small- and medium-sized myelinated fibers of Penaeus shrimp.

Saltatory conduction is defined as an action potential moving in discrete jumps down a myelinated axon.

The myelination enables an especially rapid mode of electrical impulse propagation called saltatory conduction.

A good jumper was a distinct asset to a team, and the Pollux's five saltatory champs had been of invaluable assistance.

Wain performed saltatory prodigies.

Thus, the safety factor of saltatory conduction is high, allowing transmission to bypass nodes in case of injury.

Basically, the myelin sheath prevents the leakage of charge and increases signal speed due to saltatory conduction.

Early development of the northern logperch, Percina caprodes semifasciata according to the theory of saltatory ontogeny.

This arrangement permits saltatory conduction of action potentials with repropagation at the nodes of Ranvier.

Saltatory conduction provides one advantage over conduction that occurs along an axon without myelin sheaths.

By the time the ballerina Agrippina Vaganova began teaching there in 1921, Russia had acquired a trove of saltatory art and experience.

In general, colonization shows a "saltatory" pattern, as the Neolithic advanced from one patch of fertile alluvial soil to another, bypassing mountainous areas.

These gaps allow for saltatory conduction which increases the speed of action potentials (the signals such as stubbing your big toe) down the axon.

Some diseases degrade myelin and impair saltatory conduction, reducing the conduction velocity of action potentials.

Known as saltatory conduction, this type of signal propagation provides a favorable tradeoff of signal velocity and axon diameter.

Together with the Swiss physiologist Robert Stämpfli he evidenced the existence of saltatory conduction in myelinated nerve fibres.

Because insertion of an interspersed repeat is a saltatory event the evolution of the new gene will also be saltatory.

By degrees Henchard became aware that the measure was trod by some one who out-Farfraed Farfrae in saltatory intenseness.

Saltatory conduction in myelinated axons requires organization of the nodes of Ranvier, whereas voltage-gated sodium channels are highly populated.

These methods are referred to as action potential conduction for unmyelinated axons, and saltatory conduction for myelinated axons.

Myelin sheath reduces membrane capacitance and increases membrane resistance in the inter-node intervals, thus allowing a fast, saltatory movement of action potentials from node to node.
