A Shift of the Resting Transmembrane Potential Toward 0 MV

Question

A shift of the resting transmembrane potential toward 0 mV is called
A) potential difference.
B) depolarization.
C) hyperpolarization.
D) polarization.
E) repolarization.

Accepted Answer

Depolarization is a shift of the resting transmembrane potential toward 0 mV, meaning the potential becomes less negative or positive. This can occur during the initiation of an action potential.
