Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depolarization refers to the shift in membrane potential towards a more positive value, while repolarization is the return of the membrane potential to resting after depolarization. Hyperpolarization is the opposite of depolarization- it is a shift in membrane potential towards a more negative value.
