... 4. What role do the nodes of Ranvier play in the conduction of an action potential? The nodes of Ranvier represent an area along the axon where there is an absence of myelin. Because ions can cross the membrane only at the nodes, only a node can respond to a depolarizing stimulus. Action potentials ...
