The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Refractory Period:** - The refractory period is a phase following an action potential during which a neuron is unable to fire another action potential. This period is crucial for the proper functioning of nerve impulses. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Option 1:** "Nerve transmit impulse very slowly." - This is incorrect because during the refractory period, the nerve is not transmitting impulses at all, not just slowly. - **Option 2:** "Nerves cannot transmit impulses." - This is correct. During the refractory period, the neuron is in a state where it cannot generate another action potential, meaning it cannot transmit impulses. - **Option 3:** "Nerves transmit impulses very rapidly." - This is also incorrect. Rapid transmission of impulses occurs during the action potential phase, not during the refractory period. - **Option 4:** "None of the above." - This option is incorrect because we have already identified that option 2 is correct. 3. **Conclusion:** - The correct answer is that during the refractory period, nerves cannot transmit impulses.
