Animal Physiology question

1. The absolute and relative refractory periods of an action potential determine other parameters of action potentials such as causing unidirectional conduction and limiting their frequency (i.e. how often) they can be fired. What is the absolute refractory period and what causes it? What is the relative refractory period and what causes it? How do these two refractory period affect unidirectional conduction? How do these two refractory periods affect the frequency that APs can be generated?
