Question

Refractory period of a muscle fibre in mammals is
A) 0.8001 seconds
B) 0.002 seconds
C) 0.004 seconds
D) 0.005 seconds

Answer 1

Refractory period of a muscle fibre in mammals is 0.002 seconds.

A refractory period is particularly the time lapse between which a muscle does not react.

It is different for different living animals.

Particularly for the mammalian muscles, this refractory time is approximately 0.002 second.
