Depolarization is essential to the function of many cells, communication between cells, and the overall physiology of an organism. Action potential in a neuron, showing depolarization, in which the cell's internal charge becomes less negative (more positive), and repolarization, where the internal charge returns to a more negative value.
Cellular mechanisms of early afterdepolarizations (EADs) and delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs). Delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) begin during phase 4, after repolarization is completed but before another action potential would normally occur via the normal conduction systems of the heart.
Examples include: Nitric acid, used in the Grove cell and Bunsen cell; Chromic acid, used in the Chromic acid cell; Manganese dioxide, used in the Leclanché cell and Dry cell; Nitric and chromic acids are powerful oxidizing agents, and effective depolarizers, but their hazardous nature makes them unsuitable for general use.
A typical action potential begins at the axon hillock [41] with a sufficiently strong depolarization, e.g., a stimulus that increases V m. This depolarization is often caused by the injection of extra sodium cations into the cell; these cations can come from a wide variety of sources, such as chemical synapses, sensory neurons or pacemaker ...
A depolarizer or depolariser is an optical device used to scramble the polarization of light.An ideal depolarizer would output randomly polarized light whatever its input, but all practical depolarizers produce pseudo-random output polarization.
This temporary depolarization of postsynaptic membrane potential, caused by the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell, is a result of opening ligand-gated ion channels. These are the opposite of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs), which usually result from the flow of negative ions into the cell or positive ions out ...
This reflects a common misunderstanding: that depolarization is at odds with activism. ... Aggressive, insulting rhetoric by Republicans can make liberals feel more defensive. For example, ...
A Raman band whose depolarization ratio is less than 0.75 is called a polarized band, and a band with a depolarization ratio equal to or greater than 0.75 is called a depolarized band. [4] [5] For a spherical top molecule in which all three axes are equivalent, symmetric vibrations have Raman spectral bands which are completely polarized (ρ = 0).
