Depolarization of a neuron is a:
A)a stabilization of charges on either side of the cell membrane
B)a neutralization of charges within the cytoplasm
C)a decrease of charges within the cytoplasm
D)a reversal of charges on either side of the cell membrane

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depolarization of a neuron is the process by which the inside of the neuron becomes more positive as compared to the outside due to the influx of positively charged ions such as sodium into the cell. This causes a reversal of charges on either side of the cell membrane, making the inside of the neuron more positive than the outside.
