Describe depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization
A) Depolarization is a shift in membrane potential toward a more positive value; repolarization is the return of the membrane potential to resting; and hyperpolarization is a shift in membrane potential toward a more negative value.
B) Depolarization is a shift in membrane potential toward a more negative value; repolarization is the return of the membrane potential to resting; and hyperpolarization is a shift in membrane potential toward a more positive value.
