Action Potential: Relative refractory period
In a neuron, there is a period of time called the absolute refractory period where it is impossible for an action potential to
begin. This corresponds to the change in membrane potential from +30 to -70 mV, or the repolarization phase. Towards the
end of the repolarizing phase, there is a relative refractory period where it is difficult, but not impossible, for another action
potential to begin. Using the time slider function, which of the following segments in the neuron would correspond to a
relative refractory period?
