Noun
repolarization (countable and uncountable, plural repolarizations)
The act of repolarizing.
Ion channels Ion channels are responsible for cell membrane voltage, depolarization, and repolarization. Source: Internet
Normally, the sodium channels close very rapidly, but the depolarization of the membrane potential causes the opening (activation) of potassium channels and potassium-efflux, which results in repolarization of the membrane potential. Source: Internet
It increases influx of sodium through these channels and delays repolarization, thus increasing excitability and promoting ventricular dysrhythmias. Source: Internet
