Answer:

Nodes of Ranvier are microscopic gaps found within myelinated axons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nodes of Ranvier are microscopic gaps found within myelinated axons. Their function is to speed up propagation of action potentials along the axon via saltatory conduction. The Nodes of Ranvier are the gaps between the myelin insulation of Schwann cells which insulate the axon of neuron.
