D)Absolute refractory period
E)Repolarization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An action potential is a nerve impulse transmitted by axons.

Answer: E
 Repolarization is the phase of an action potential where the membrane potential returns to its resting state after depolarization.

Answer: D
 The absolute refractory period is the time after an action potential during which another action potential cannot be initiated, as the sodium channels are closed and inactivated.

Answer: C
 The relative refractory period is the time after the absolute refractory period during which another action potential can only be initiated with a larger than normal stimulus.

Answer: A
 Depolarization is the phase of an action potential where the membrane potential becomes more positive, allowing for the initiation of an action potential.
