Questions and Answers

What is the absolute refractory period?

  • The interval during which no action potential can be produced, but only at lower stimulus intensity
  • The interval during which a second action potential can be produced but at higher stimulus intensity
  • The interval during which no action potential can be produced, regardless of the stimulus intensity (correct)
  • The interval during which a second action potential can be produced, regardless of the stimulus intensity
  • What is the relative refractory period?

  • The interval during which a second action potential can be produced but at higher stimulus intensity (correct)
  • The interval during which a second action potential can be produced, regardless of the stimulus intensity
  • The interval during which no action potential can be produced, but only at lower stimulus intensity
  • The interval during which no action potential can be produced, regardless of the stimulus intensity
  • What is the purpose of the absolute refractory period?

  • To allow for multiple action potentials to occur simultaneously
  • To increase the intensity of the stimulus
  • To prevent waves summation and tetanus (correct)
  • To decrease the intensity of the stimulus
