Which statement characterizes the relative refractory period?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the relative refractory period, a neuron can indeed fire in response to a stimulus, but this stimulus must be stronger than usual. This period follows the absolute refractory period, where the neuron cannot fire at all, regardless of the strength of the stimulus. The relative refractory period occurs because the neuron is still returning to its resting state, with some ion channels not yet returned to their baseline states.
