The wave of absolute refractoriness that follows an action potential
 
  A) keeps the action potential from spreading actively back along an axon towards the cell body.
  B) increases the firing rate.
  C) increases the speed of axonal transmission.
  D) produces a second, negative action potential.
  E) produces saltatory conduction.

Question 2

Neurons do not normally fire more than 1,000 times per second because
 
  A) the absolute refractory period is typically about 1 millisecond.
  B) the relative refractory period is typically about 1 millisecond.
  C) the total refractory period is typically about 1 millisecond.
  D) the sodium-potassium pump cannot repolarize the cell in less than 1 millisecond.
  E) higher rates over excite the neuron.
