Question

an action potential does not re - stimulate the adjacent membrane that was previously depolarized because multiple choice stimulation is inhibited by the myelin sheath it is impossible for an action potential to be propagated along an axon toward the nerve cell body the resting membrane potential of the axon is too positive the resting membrane potential of the axon is too negative that area of the membrane is in the absolute refractory period

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

After an action potential, the previously depolarized membrane enters an absolute refractory period. During this time, no matter how strong the stimulus is, another action potential cannot be generated, preventing re - stimulation. The myelin sheath is related to saltatory conduction and not the prevention of re - stimulation. Action potentials can be propagated in certain cases towards the nerve cell body. The resting membrane potential values are not the reason for preventing re - stimulation.

Answer:

the area of the membrane is in the absolute refractory period
