depolarisation
Depolarisation refers to a change in a cell's membrane potential, making it more positive or less negative. This shift in electrical charge is often a necessary step in transmitting nerve impulses in neurons or triggering muscle contraction in muscle cells. It opens voltage-gated ion channels, allowing an inward flow of sodium ions. It is an essential process in the functioning of various cells within the body, most notably in the nervous system and cardiovascular system.
