Depolarization


In biology, depolarization is a decrease in the absolute value of a cell's membrane potential. Thus, changes in membrane voltage in which the membrane potential becomes less positive or less negative are both depolarizations.

Depolarization
In biology, depolarization refers to the event a cell undergoes when its membrane potential grows more positive with respect to the extracellular solution.

depolarization
An electrical state in an excitable cell whereby the inside of the cell is made less negative relative to the outside than at the resting membrane potential.

Depolarization of the hair cell causes the release of a neurotransmitter at its basal surface and the initiation of nerve impulses in a sensory neuron that synapses with it.

depolarization The loss of an electrical charge on the surface of a membrane.
depolarized The reduction in the difference in charge (potential) between the outside and inside of a membrane.

Mitochondrial depolarization paradoxically decreases the cytoplasmic calcium elevation following glutamate addition, probably due to an enhanced calcium efflux from the cell.

This change in the membrane potential, called depolarization, will cause the voltage-gated sodium channels to open. Sodium ions will rush in, resulting in a rapid change in the charge.

An increase in the threshold for an action potential that occurs in some neurons during a slowly developing or prolonged depolarization.
