  2. Repolarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repolarization

    A labeled diagram of an action potential.As seen above, repolarization takes place just after the peak of the action potential, when K + ions rush out of the cell.. In neuroscience, repolarization refers to the change in membrane potential that returns it to a negative value just after the depolarization phase of an action potential which has changed the membrane potential to a positive value.

  3. T wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_wave

    Repolarization of the ventricle happens in the opposite direction of depolarization and is negative current, signifying the relaxation of the cardiac muscle of the ventricles. But this negative flow causes a positive T wave; although the cell becomes more negatively charged, the net effect is in the positive direction, and the ECG reports this ...

  4. Refractory period (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_period_(physiology)

    During repolarization, voltage-gated sodium ion channels inactivate (different from the closed state) due to the now-depolarized membrane, and voltage-gated potassium channels activate (open). Both the inactivation of the sodium ion channels and the opening of the potassium ion channels act to repolarize the cell's membrane potential back to ...

  5. Voltage-gated sodium channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-gated_sodium_channel

    Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), also known as voltage-dependent sodium channels (VDSCs), are a group of voltage-gated ion channels found in the membrane of excitable cells (e.g., muscle, glial cells, neurons, etc.) with a permeability to the sodium ion Na +.

  6. ST segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_segment

    The typical ST segment duration is usually around 0.08 sec (80 ms). It should be essentially level with the PR and TP segments. The ST segment represents the isoelectric period when the ventricles are in between depolarization and repolarization.

  9. Pacemaker potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_potential

    In the pacemaking cells of the heart (e.g., the sinoatrial node), the pacemaker potential (also called the pacemaker current) is the slow, positive increase in voltage across the cell's membrane (the membrane potential) that occurs between the end of one action potential and the beginning of the next action potential.
