Impulse Conduction in a Myelinated Nerve Fibre	Impulse Conduction in a Non-myelinated Nerve Fibre
1. Impulse travels from node to node.	1. Impulse travels along the entire length of the nerve fibre.
2. For action potential propagation, activation of voltage-gated sodium channels is required only in nodal spaces.	2. For action potential propagation, activation of voltage-gated sodium channels is required along the entire length of the axon.
3. Due to the presence of Nodes of Ranvier, the action potential propagation is much faster.	3. Due to the absence of Nodes of Ranvier, the action potential propagation is slower.
4. The presence of the myelin sheath prevents these fibres from losing the impulse during conduction.	4. These fibres can lose the impulse during conduction.
