Answer:
it kills them
just a joke on the side:
I once asked my mom if she had been painting when I was young
then she answered:
“No dear, your father was painting. I was the canvas.”
The answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is The resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.
The refractory period is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron will not lead to a second potential. Thus, because Na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials.
