Image:
6f3889ee-0567-4ce3-83a2-72b3addd335c (image/png)
Answer
  • The Absolute refractory period is due to the rapid inactivation of Na+ channels after they open, these channels are not reactivated until membrane potential is below 65mV
  • Due to the extended refractory period, cardiac muscle can not be tetanized
  • Another Action Potential can not be initiated during any of the stages 1-4
  • The inactivation of VO Na+ channels causes a change in the shape of the protein channel, blocking the passage of Na+ ions.
