The movement of sodium ions through activated voltage-gated Na⁺ channels into the cell is called A) Polarization B) Depolarization C) Repolarization D) Hyperpolarization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of sodium ions through activated voltage-gated Na+ channels into the cell is called depolarization. Depolarization is the process by which the electrical potential of a cell becomes less negative. This can occur when sodium ions enter the cell, or when potassium ions leave the cell.
