Repolarization

The process of restoring the resting negative charge inside the cell membrane after depolarization, crucial for the propagation of electrical signals in nerve and muscle cells.

Action Potential

A rapid change in the electrical charge across a cell membrane that results in a nerve or muscle cell firing.

Positive Feedback Cycle

A process where the end products of an action cause more of that action to occur in a feedback loop, amplifying the original action.
