Proper application of rice--rest, ice, compression, and elevation--can effectively control inflammation due to an ankle sprain. why would compression provided by a correctly wrapped elastic ace bandage be in preventing further inflammation? because it reduces pain associated with joint injury because it immobilizes/stabilizes an injured ankle because it promotes increased blood flow to the injury because it promotes fluid leakage into injured tissue

because it immobilizes/stabilizes an injured ankle

the answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is the resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.

the refractory period is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron will not lead to a second potential. thus, because na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials.
