Describe what happens in terms of ion channels opening and ion movement when a neuron is depolarized. (You don't need to describe repolarization, only depolarization.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Depolarization occurs when the nerve cell reverses these charges; to change them back to an at-rest state, the neuron sends another electrical signal. The entire process occurs when the cell allows specific ions to flow into and out of the cell.
