Decremental conduction is a term used to refer to an impaired conduction that occurs in nerve fibers. The impaired conduction is characterized by a gradual decrease in the stimuli and response along the pathway of conduction.

What's decremental conduction?

Decremental Conduction: Decremental conduction denotes less and. less effective propagation of an impulse due to. a progressive decrease in membrane potential and velocity of rise of the action potential.

What does Nondecremental mean?

the propagation of a nerve impulse along an axon in which the amplitude of the impulse is maintained as it progresses. Compare decremental conduction.
