A neuron membrane potential moves from -90 mV to -80 mV in response to a brief stimulation. We would term this change in potential as a(n)
A) depolarization.
B) resting potential.
C) action potential.
D) hyperpolarization.
E) inhibitory local potential.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This change in potential is termed depolarization because the membrane potential becomes less negative, moving towards zero, which is indicative of depolarization.
