Descriptor nódulos de Ranvier
Entry term(s) nodos de Ranvier
Scope note: Brechas regularmente espaciadas en las bandas de mielina de los axones periféricos. Los nódulos de Ranvier permiten una conducción saltatoria del impulso, es decir que los impulsos salten de un nódulo a otro, lo que es más rápido y más favorable energéticamente que la conducción continua.

Scope note: Regularly spaced gaps in the myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. Ranvier's nodes allow saltatory conduction, that is, jumping of impulses from node to node, which is faster and more energetically favorable than continuous conduction.
