Repolarization restores the membrane potential after depolarization by opening potassium channels, allowing passive potassium eflux, returning the potential to approximately -80 mV.
Restauration post-dépolarisation, canaux potassiques ouverts, efflux passif de potassium, potentiel de membrane à -80 mV.
