Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The initial stage where the neuron's electrical potential is approximately -70 mV is called polarization.

Answer: C
 Rapid depolarization occurs when the electrical potential of the neuron rapidly becomes more positive, leading to the action potential.

Answer: D
 Repolarization occurs when the electrical potential returns to its resting state after depolarization.

Answer: E
 The relative refractory period is the stage following depolarization and repolarization where the neuron is less likely to fire an action potential.

Answer: F
 The absolute refractory period is the stage immediately following depolarization where the neuron cannot fire another action potential.
