During saltatory conduction, action potentials leap across the nodes of Ranvier, greatly increasing conduction velocity.

During saltatory conduction, the action potential rapidly jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next along the myelinated axon.

Researchers examined the distribution of Merkel-Ranvier cells in the glabrous skin of the fingertips.

The researcher examined the epidermis under a microscope and identified a Merkel-Ranvier cell near the basal layer.
