Summary Introduction

To describe: Depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization.

Introduction: The membrane potential states the unequal electric potential inside and outside the plasma membrane of the neuron. The membrane potential is also called as the resting potential; the plasma membrane is important for the permeability of the ions through the membrane to induce a potential.

Blurred answer
