During action potential, which phase follows depolarization?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the phases of action potential in a biological context, specifically which phase occurs immediately after depolarization in the process of generating an action potential in neurons.
Answer
Repolarization follows depolarization in an action potential.
The phase that follows depolarization during an action potential is repolarization.
Answer for screen readers
The phase that follows depolarization during an action potential is repolarization.
More Information
After depolarization, the cell returns to its resting potential through repolarization. This is the stage where potassium ions flow out of the cell, making the interior more negative.
