Surprised this is even a question, it's basic stuff!

I thought polarization was the right term here...

Wait, isn't repolarization the opposite?

Totally agree, it's all about ion movement.

That's definitely depolarization!

I'm a bit confused... isn't repolarization when the cell returns to its resting state? So that can't be it, right?

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and I think depolarization was the term used for the rapid loss of negative potential.

I remember something about polarization being the opposite of what happens here, but I'm not completely sure.

I think this is about the change in membrane potential, so it might be depolarization?

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Polarization, repolarization, and depolarization all involve ion movements, so I'm not sure which one is the best fit. I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand the differences between these processes.

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. Depolarization is the rapid loss of the internal negative potential, so I'm confident that D is the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions "movements of ions" which could also relate to polarization or repolarization. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This question seems straightforward. I think the rapid loss of internal negative potential is referring to depolarization, so I'll go with option D.
