Depolarization of a neuron occurs when:

  • A K+ rushes into the cell
  • B Na+ rushes into the cell
  • C Cl- rushes out
  • D K+ rushes out

Correct answer: B. Na+ rushes into the cell

Explanation: During an action potential, Na+ channels open and Na+ rushes into the cell, making the inside more positive (depolarization).

Concept context

Brain, spinal cord, neurons, reflex arcs, and sense organs.
