... The speed of transmission is ~200 m/s in myelinated fibers, but only 0.5 m/s in non-myelinated fibers. The reason is that the nerve impulse "jumps" from node to node in myelinated fibers. In non-myelinated fiber, the nerve impulse must depolarize and repolarize each point along the nerve fiber. ...
