Abstract
Conduction of action potentials by normal peripheral myelinated fibers is a perfectly continuous process. During conduction the emf [electromotive force] of the action potential is established successively at each and every one point of the internodes. Important differences have been found to exist between the properties of the excitable membrane of large myelinated fibers having approximately equal diameters.Keywords
