Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the absolute refractory period, the neuron is unable to produce any additional action potentials, regardless of the strength of the stimulus. This is due to the fact that the voltage-gated sodium channels are already activated and inactivated, and cannot be reactivated until the membrane potential returns to its resting state.

During the _______ Period, No Additional Action Potentials Can Be
