Final answer:

Axoplasmic transfer, specifically saltatory conduction between nodes of Ranvier, recycles the action potential and allows for faster signal propagation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The recycling of the action potential in axons is achieved through a process called axoplasmic transfer.

During axoplasmic transfer, the action potential is regenerated at each node of Ranvier along the myelinated axon.

The action potential jumps between nodes of Ranvier, a process known as saltatory conduction, which allows for faster propagation of the signal.
