MATCHING
Match each description with the term that correctly identifies the generation and conduction of the nerve impulse stage. Terms may be used more than once.
-The gated Na⁺ channels on the resting neuron's membrane release and open suddenly in order to allow the Na⁺ in the extracellular fluid to influx into the cell.
A)Polarization
B)Slow depolarization
C)Rapid depolarization
D)Repolarization
E)Relative refractory period
F)Absolute refractory period

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This description is referring to the rapid depolarization stage, where the gated Na⁺ channels open and allow Na⁺ to influx into the cell, causing a rapid change in the membrane potential.

Answer: F
 This description is referring to the absolute refractory period, which occurs immediately after the rapid depolarization stage and prevents another action potential from being generated during this time.

Answer: D
 This description is referring to the repolarization stage, where the membrane potential of the neuron returns to its resting state after the rapid depolarization.

Note: The other terms (A, B, and E) do not match the given descriptions.
