This flashcard defines Depolarization as a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes the interior of the membrane less negative relative to the outside.
Il s'agit de définir la Dépolarisation comme un changement dans le potentiel de membrane d'une cellule, rendant l'intérieur moins négatif par rapport à l'extérieur.
| Front | depolarization |
|---|---|
| Back | A change in a cell's membrane potential such that the inside of the membrane is made less negative relative to the outside. For example, a neuron membrane is depolarized if a stimulus decreases its voltage from the resting potential of –70 mV in the direction of zero voltage. |
