If we need 70 of the action potential to reach a closed


If we need 70% of the action potential to reach a closed voltage-gated sodium channel adjacent to an open voltage-gated sodium channel in order for the closed channel to open, what is the maximum distance between channels that will permit the signal to propagate? Assume that we are talking about myelinated axons.
