Refrigerate the frozen meat. Place the plate of frozen meat in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. For larger cuts of meat, allow 24 hours for every 5 pounds (2.3 kilograms) of meat. After the first 24 hours, check the meat periodically to see if itâs thawed.
In physiology, a refractory period is a period of time during which an organ or cell is incapable of repeating a particular action, or (more precisely) the amount of time it takes for an excitable membrane to be ready for a second stimulus once it returns to its resting state following an excitation.
The second half of chapter 12 Refractory Period, Action Potential propagation, axon classification, and synapse classification. Refractory Period. The time period from the beginning of the action potential to the return to resting state during which the membrane will not respond normally to additional stimuli. Absolue Refractory Period. Period during which the sodium channels are open or inactivated and no action potential is possible. Relative Refractory Period. Period during which the membrane potential is almost normal and only very large stimuli can initiate an action potential.
