While a neuron will fire more frequently as stimulus intensity increases, there is a limit on how frequently a neuron can generate an action potential. This limit is set by the neuron's
A)threshold
B)absolute refractory period
C)relative refractory period
D)depolarization potential
E)degree of myelination

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
