Question
Chapter 13, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The basis for the mechanism of the refractory period needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The refractory period is the one where the neuronal membrane will not respond temporarily to the second actions potential stimulus after the repolarization phase of an action potential. The refractory period happens in the undershoot phase.
