Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When NA+ channel open and Na+ are flowing inside the cell and make the condition of the cell is more positive than outside
A
repolarization
B
Depolarization
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyperpolarization and depolarization 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: -Some initial depolarization (e.g., a synaptic potential) will begin to open the Na+ channels. The increase in the Na+ influx leads to a further depolarization. A positive feedback cycle rapidly moves the membrane potential toward its peak value, which is close but not equal to the Na+ equilibrium potential.
