Depolarization

Definition: Depolarization refers to the process of neutralizing or reducing polarization, particularly in the fields of physics and biology.

Physics (Electronics):

Sense: The elimination or reduction of the difference in charge between two points, resulting in a decrease in voltage.

Usage: In electronic circuits, depolarization helps to balance the electrical potential and stabilize the circuit operation.

Example sentence: The depolarization of the battery ensures a constant supply of energy to the device.

Biology (Neuroscience):

Sense: The change in electrical potential across a neuron's membrane, causing the inside of the cell to become more positive compared to the outside.

Usage: Depolarization is a crucial step in the generation of action potentials, allowing nerve impulses to transmit information through the nervous system.

Example sentence: The depolarization of the neuron triggered the firing of an action potential, leading to the transmission of signals between brain cells.
