What limits the frequency of action potentials?
A)chloride ions
B)spike amplitude
C)nodes of Ranvier
D)refractory period

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The refractory period limits the frequency of action potentials by causing a brief period of time during which the neuron cannot generate a new action potential, as it needs time to reset its ion channels. Thus, the refractory period sets a limit on how quickly the neuron can fire.
