Q

One student mentions that neurons can send impulses continuously. This statement is…

  1. Correct, neurons are never inactive
  2. Incorrect, the resting potential has to be restored before another impulse can fire
  3. Incorrect, impulse cant conducted during the relative refractory period
  4. Correct, refractory period prevents over stimulation of the nervous system
A
  1. . Incorrect, the resting potential has to be restored before another impulse can fire
