(1) The ability of the plasma membrane to depolarize remains functional in the rho cells as evidenced by the release of insulin with the depolarizing agent KCl.

(2) The threshold necessary to depolarize the membrane

(3) The threshold necessary to depolarize the membrane

(4) The flow of cations through the receptors rapidly depolarizes the postsynaptic membrane, and the signal is propagated along the electrically excitable membrane toward the next nerve cell.

(5) Why a small proportion of resistant cells (or untreated sensitive cells) should have depolarized membranes is not known.

(6) Polarization or depolarization of the membrane voltage opens the gate subunits and permits a flood of calcium ions through the cell membrane.

(7) Light passing through such a liquid crystal can be polarized and depolarized by changing the field and has led to the liquid crystal displays we see in watches, microwaves, and laptop computers today.

(8) As the channel opens upon a depolarization , the trapped ion can escape to the intracellular medium increasing the stability of the bound toxin.

(9) Localized depolarization within a mitochondrial reticulum leads to a virtually instantaneous depolarization of coupled mitochondria.

(10) Whereas increasing temperature accelerated fluorescence depolarization , increasing solvent viscosity slowed the process down.

(11) Conversely, if a depolarizing process is much slower than the decay of the excited state, little depolarization will occur before emission.

(12) The positive charge that they carry produces a further membrane depolarization, which activates additional sodium channels, so depolarizing the membrane even further.
