Questions and Answers

What is the absolute refractory period?

  • The interval during which a third action potential can be produced at a higher stimulus intensity
  • The interval during which no action potential can be produced, but a graded potential can be produced
  • 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 but at higher stimulus intensity
