Definitions:

Repolarization

The process of returning membrane potential to its resting level.

Equilibrium Potential

This term refers to the electrical potential difference that precisely balances an ionic concentration gradient across a membrane, resulting in no net ion flow.

Hyperpolarization

An increase in a cell's membrane potential, making it more negative inside compared to the outside and further from the threshold that causes action potentials.

Absolute Refractory Period

A period immediately following the stimulation during which a nerve or muscle is unresponsive to further stimulation.
