Depolarization in a sentence
Depolarization meaning
- The act of reducing polarity, or the result of such action; reduction to an unpolarized or less polarized condition.
- An intracellular shift in electrical charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell compared with outside; it is essential to the function of many cells, communication between cells, and the overall physiology of an organism.

Example types with depolarization
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
They also delay depolarization thus decreasing heart rate. (8 words)
This is also known as a wave of depolarization. (9 words)
The resulting depolarization of the neuron stimulates it to signal the brain. (12 words)
If the pressure is steady, there is no more stimulus; thus, typically these neurons respond with a transient depolarization during the initial deformation and again when the pressure is removed, which causes the corpuscle to change shape again. (38 words)
Normally, the sodium channels close very rapidly, but the depolarization of the membrane potential causes the opening (activation) of potassium channels and potassium-efflux, which results in repolarization of the membrane potential. (32 words)
As a result, the inside of the cell becomes less negative with respect to the outside, leading to the depolarization of the cell surface membrane. (25 words)

As a result, the inside of the cell becomes less negative with respect to the outside, leading to the depolarization of the cell surface membrane.
By binding to the receptors, it causes cell depolarization and an influx of calcium through voltage-gated calcium channels.
If the pressure is steady, there is no more stimulus; thus, typically these neurons respond with a transient depolarization during the initial deformation and again when the pressure is removed, which causes the corpuscle to change shape again.
Ion channels Ion channels are responsible for cell membrane voltage, depolarization, and repolarization.
It occurs when the rate of depolarization of the SA node falls below the rate of the AV node.
Ligand binding opens the channel causing influx of Na + depolarization and increases the probability of presynaptic neurotransmitter release.
Normally, mild calcium influx from cytosol into the mitochondrial matrix causes transient depolarization that is corrected by pumping out protons.
Normally, the sodium channels close very rapidly, but the depolarization of the membrane potential causes the opening (activation) of potassium channels and potassium-efflux, which results in repolarization of the membrane potential.
