Definitions:

Plasma Membrane

A bi-layer of lipids and proteins that surrounds a cell, controlling the passage of substances in and out of the cell.

Membrane Potential

The electrical potential difference across a cell's plasma membrane, vital for the conduction of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and transport processes.

Depolarization

A decrease in membrane potential that makes the interior of a cell less negative compared to the outside, crucial for nerve impulse transmission and muscle contractions.

Repolarization

The process by which a cell's membrane potential returns to its resting state after depolarization.
