During the absolute refractory period, the neuron cannot be excited to generate a second action potential (no matter how intense the stimulus). ... This recovery period is the relative refractory period during which a stronger than normal stimulus is needed to initiate a new action potential.
What happens during absolute refractory period?
The period when the majority of sodium channels remain in the inactive state is the absolute refractory period. After this period, there are enough voltage-activated sodium channels in the closed (active) state to respond to depolarization.
What is happening during the refractory period?
By definition, the refractory period is a period of time during which a cell is incapable of repeating an action potential. ... Refractory periods are caused by the inactivation gate of the Na+ channel. Once inactivated, the Na+ channel cannot respond to another stimulus until the gates are reset.
