Polarity
The property of having distinct and opposite ends or poles, used in various contexts such as electricity, magnetism, and molecular chemistry.
Membrane
A thin layer of tissue or material that acts as a boundary, separating different areas or substances, crucial in cellular function and structure.
Depolarization
The process by which a neuron's membrane potential becomes less negative, making the neuron more likely to fire an action potential.
Hyperpolarization
A change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative, moving further away from zero, which decreases the likelihood of generating an action potential.
