Question

multiple choice question

o repolarized
depolarized
hyperpolarized

Explanation:

• Repolarization is the return to the resting potential after depolarization.
• Depolarization is when the membrane potential becomes less negative (more positive) than the resting potential.
• Hyperpolarization is when the membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential.

Answer:

depolarized
