The number of Na + channels per square micrometer of membrane in myelinated mammalian neurons has been estimated: 

50–75 in the cell body, 350–500 in initial segment, less than 25 on the surface of the myelin, 2000–12,000 at the nodes of Ranvier & 20–75 at the axon terminals

The number of Na + channels along the axons of unmyelinated neurons, is about 110.

Depolarization in myelinated axons travels from one node of Ranvier to the next, this “jumping” of depolarization from node to node is called

saltatory conduction

Saltatory conduction is a rapid process that allows myelinated axons to conduct up to 50 times faster than the fastest unmyelinated fibers
