B. saltatory conduction in non-myelinated neurons slows the process of transmission

C. action potentials are generated only in the nodes of Ranvier

    B. saltatory conduction in non-myelinated neurons slows the process of transmission

    Explanation:

    The action potential flows down the axon as it depolarizes and repolarizes the axon membrane ... Ranvier nodes are openings in the myelin along the axons; they contain channels of sodium and potassium ion, allowing the action potential to rapidly travel down the axon by moving from one node to the next.
