A neuron may produce another action potential in response to larger than normal depolarization during the
 
  a. absolute refractory period.
 b. relative refractory period.
 c. depolarization phase of the action potential.
 d. hyperpolarization phase of an action potential.

Question 2

The absolute refractory period occurs because
 
  a. the cell is hyperpolarized, requiring a larger than normal stimulus in order to form another action potential.
  b. it takes time for the sodium-potassium pumps to return ion concentrations to the normal resting state.
 c. only one action potential at a time can travel the length of an axon.
 d. sodium channels cannot reopen until the cell regains its resting potential.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Although puberty usually occurs in the early teenage years, the world's youngest parents were two Chinese children who had their first baby when they were 8 and 9 years of age.
