Action Potential Of The Nerve Flashcards
1
Q
Absolute refractory period
A
Period during an AP where the nerve cannot respond to a second stimulus not matter how strong it is
2
Q
Action potential
A
It is an electrical response of the membrane to a threshold of greater than threshold stimulus
3
Q
Depolarization
A
change is resting membrane potential toward zero savings a result of influx of positive ions into the cell
