Animal Physiology question
1. The absolute and relative refractory periods of an actionpotential determine other parameters of action potentials such ascausing unidirectional conduction and limiting their frequency(i.e. how often) they can be fired. What is the absolute refractoryperiod and what causes it? What is the relative refractory periodand what causes it? How do these two refractory period affectunidirectional conduction? How do these two refractory periodsaffect the frequency that APs can be generated?
