Explain 2 factors that contribute to the maintenance of this resting state.please claerly explain diffreence between synapse and neurotransmitter. I feel like their work is same in autonomic nervous system. Please clarify for me in short cut about their differences?nswer After an action potential is generated in a neuron, it travels to the end of the axon. Explain how the absolute refractory period prevents the action potential from travelling back to the cell body, and why it does not prevent the action potential from moving down to the end of the axon.
