2 Define refractory period and differentiate between absolute and relative refractory periods?
refractory period is the interval between action potential , the absolute refractory period is the period in which second action potential can not be initiated but in relative refractory period the second action potential can be initiated by the more strong stimulus.
A period after an initial stimulus when a neuron is not sensitive to another stimulus is the?
After the generation and propagation of an action potential along a neuron, the cell becomes depolarized to the point where there is no potential for further signaling until the cell re-polarizes through the action of ion pumps. This very brief period is called the refractory state.

Relative refractory period
