16. If the threshold potential is met action potential will always occur. Action potential
always reaches the same magnitude of +30 mV. Explain why this is referred to as the
all-or-none response and why the magnitude of response is always the same.

17. The refractory period following action potential can be divided into two phases,
absolute and relative. During what stage of the action potential does the absolute
refractory period occur and why? During what stage does relative refractory period
occur and why?(Color the portion of the graph on the front side during
refractory period red and relative refractory period orange)
