What is the absolute refractory period?
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
