If a neuron's membrane potential measures +25mV, the neuron is __________.
A) polarized
B) hyperpolarized
C) depolarized
D) repolarized

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons are typically polarized at a resting membrane potential of about -70mV. A membrane potential of +25mV indicates that the neuron is depolarized, meaning it has become less negative than the resting potential, moving towards or beyond zero, which is a key part of the action potential process.
