It can be said that the Refractory Period is the period of time during which an organ or a cell can’t repeat a certain action.
It is the amount of time it takes for an excitable membrane to be ready for a second stimulus, after it returns to its resting state, that was followed by an excitation.
A new action potential cannot occur in an excitable fiber as long as the membrane is still hyperpolarized from the previous action potential.
✎
1. Absolute:
Is the period of time during which a second action potential ABSOLUTELY cannot be initiated, no matter how large the applied stimulus is.
2.Relative:
Is the interval immediately following the Absolute Refractory Period during which initiation of a second action potential is INHIBITED, but not impossible.
✎
refractory period is quite short (1-2 ms ) , it usually coincides with the depolarization phase of the action potential . ... Absolute refractory period : is a period during which the cardiac excitability is totally cancelled ( cardiac muscle will not respond to any stimulus)

, . ... , .
The time interval, after a muscle fiber has been stimulated and a contraction has been achieved, which has to pass before the muscle cell can be stimulated to contract again; it is prolonged in cardiac muscle.
