Depolarization
Depolarization is the process by which a cell's
membrane potential
becomes less negative, typically leading to the generation of an
action potential
in neurons and
muscle cells
. This change in
electrical charge
is crucial for the
transmission of signals
in the
nervous system
and the
contraction of muscles
.
