Plasma Membrane

The semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell, responsible for controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Membrane Potential

The electrical potential difference across a cell's plasma membrane, critical for the conduction of impulses in neurons and muscle cells.

Depolarization

The process in which the electrical charge of a cell membrane becomes less negative, often leading to the initiation of an action potential.

Repolarization

The process of restoring the negative charge inside the membrane of a neuron or muscle cell after depolarization.
