What process through nerve impulses travel in myelinated nerves?

In a nerve impulse, there are certain things that happen. The myelin serves as a protector of the axons. The axons move the nerve impulse along to the end where the dendrites are located. When the nerve impulse hits the dendrite, it will then move to another dendrite. This nerve impulse continues again and again. When the nerve impulse travels in myelinated nerves, there is a process called saltatory conduction that takes place.

This happens when the nerve impulses hop to the next node. Consider the action potential when the nerve cells need to communicate with other nerve cells. They do this through the electrical signals. Think about when you burned your hand on the stove. The impulse would travel to alert your brain that it hurts.
