20
Q

Another AP can not be elicited, no mAtter how large the stimulus

A

Absolute Refractory Period

21
Q

No AP can occur until the Na inactivation gates open

A

Ionic Basis of Absolute Refractory Period

22
Q

Action potential can be elicited only if a larger than usual inward current is provided

A

Relative Refractory Period

23
Q

Membrane potential is closer to the K equilibrium potential and farther from threshold

A

Ionic Basic of a Relative Refractory Period

24
Q

When a cell depolarized slowly, Threshold potential is passed without firing an action potential

A

Accommodation

25
Q

Synaptic inputs that depolarize the post synaptic cell ( opens Na and k chan)
