Which type of membrane channels are found at the axon?

Voltage-gated Na+ and voltage-gated K+ channels


Type of membrane channel that opens when distorted?

Mechanically-gated


Which membrane potential occurs because of the influx of Na plus through chemically gated channels in the receptive region of a neuron?

An excitatory postsynaptic potential, a type of graded potential, occurs because of the influx of Na+ through chemically gated channels in the receptive region, or postsynaptic membrane, of a neuron. Graded potentials are generated by chemically gated channels, whereas action potentials are produced by voltage-gated channels.

What is the channel responsible for absolute refractory period?

Na+ channels influx (phase 0) then L-type Ca 2+ (slow calcium channels) to maintain the plateau (phase 2) then the first half of phase 3 - where voltage-gated and the delayed (iK1) k+ channels are starting to open and the Ca++ are starting to close. Phases 0-3.5 this is the absolute refractory period - PERIOD
