Which of the following occurs during the refractory period of a neuron? The neuron cannot generate an action potential. Sodium channels open, releasing sodium ions into the neuron; potassium channels close. Potassium channels open, releasing potassium ions from the neuron; sodium channels close. A nerve impulse is propagated. Sodium and potassium channels open.

Which of the following correctly describes a compound action potential? It occurs when a single neuron fires action potentials repeatedly over a prolonged period of time. It occurs when an action potential passes through gap junctions from a presynaptic neuron to a postsynaptic neuron and continues down the length of the postsynaptic neuron without interruption. It occurs when a single neuron fires a stronger than normal action potential due to the effects of neuromodulators. It occurs when multiple neurons fire action potentials at the same time within a nerve bundle.
