Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The plasma membrane is considered to be polarized because of a charge difference across it. When the cell is more positive from inside than outside, it is depolarized. Therefore, the membrane potential will be more positive. When the membrane potential becomes more positive, an action potential is generated.
