The startle response or escape behavior that leads to withdrawal in worms. Question 5 is initiated by giant axons. The median giant fiber has a faster conduction velocity than the lateral giant fibers and therefore its response should occur: Question 6 to the left of the lateral giant fiber"s response. The relative refractory period is the interval immediately following the absolute refractory period during which initiation of a second action potential is inhibited but not impossible, i. e. if given a larger stimulus an ap will occur. The stimulus voltage at which you first see a response from the giant fibers is called: The central giant fiber is the largest of the 3 fibers in the earthworm nerve cord.
