1. A part of this is called the absolute refractory period . 2. During the absolute refractory period , a new action potential cannot be elicited. 3. An absolute refractory period was reached when intervals were about 10 ms apart. 4. This inability to induce another action potential is known as the absolute refractory period . 5. Class Ia slows phase 0 depolarization in the ventricles and increases the absolute refractory period . 6. The absolute refractory period is largely responsible for the unidirectional propagation of action potentials along axons. 7. Absolute refractory period corresponds to depolarization and repolarization, whereas relative refractory period corresponds to hyperpolarization.8. Repolarization of the membrane potential continues, resulting in an undershoot phase or absolute refractory period . 9. Absolute refractory period corresponds to depolarisation and repolarisation, whereas relative refractory period corresponds to hyperpolarisation.10. The period when the majority of sodium channels remain in the inactive state is the absolute refractory period .
