Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process of the neurone becoming positive is called
A
polarisation
B
depolarisation
C
hyperpolarisation
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyperpolarization is when the membrane potential becomes more negative at a particular spot on the neuron’s membrane, while depolarization is when the membrane potential becomes less negative (more positive).

Detailed explanation-2: -An action potential is caused by either threshold or suprathreshold stimuli upon a neuron. It consists of three phases: depolarization, overshoot, and repolarization. An action potential propagates along the cell membrane of an axon until it reaches the terminal button.
