A neuron may produce another action potential in response to larger than normal stimulation during the
A) absolute refractory period.
B) relative refractory period.
C) depolarization phase of the action potential.
D) hyperpolarization phase of an action potential.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the relative refractory period, a neuron can produce another action potential, but only in response to a larger than normal stimulation. This is because the neuron is still in the process of repolarizing and is further away from the threshold for firing an action potential.
