11. Figure 1. Saltatory conduction, with the action potential jumping from one node of Ranvier to the nextDifferent channels are distributed unevenly along the axonal membrane: Na + and K + s are in high concentrations at the node and K + f are almost exclusively paranodal. I h (permeable to both K + and Na + ) limits axonal hyperpolarisation, whereas the Na + /K + pump reverses iconic fluxes that may be generated through activity. 8 Na + =Na channels; K + f =fast K channels; K + s =slow K channels; I h =inward rectifier channels.
