During the absolute refractory period for a neuron, most voltage-gated Na⁺-channels are in which conformation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the absolute refractory period, most voltage-gated Na+ channels are in the inactivated state, meaning they are closed and temporarily cannot be opened, regardless of the membrane potential. This ensures that the neuron cannot immediately fire another action potential.
