When there is a negative charge inside an axon and a positive charge outside it, the neuron is a. in the process of reuptake. b. not in the refractory period. c. said to have a resting potential. d. said to have an action potential. e. depolarizing
During the ________ refractory period it is impossible to fire another action potential because ________. absolute :voltage gated sodium channels are already open or their inactivation gates are closed absolute : voltage gated potassium channels are open relative :voltage gated chloride channels are open hyperpolarizing the cell relative :voltage gated sodium channels are already open relative :voltage gated calcium channels are open
