Ground-Glass Nodules: If Growing, Assume Cancer. Blair Westerly, MD. The more CT scans that are performed, the more ground-glass opacities (GGOâs) are seen and what to do with these abnormalities can be difficult to ascertain for clinicians.
the process of reversing the charge across a cell membrane (usually a NEURON), so causing an ACTION POTENTIAL. In depolarization, the inside of the membrane, which is normally negatively charged, becomes positive and the outside negative.
At the synapse, or the motor end plate, acetylcholine opens sodium channels causing sodium influx into the muscle fiber causing depolarization. This depoâ¦larization causes calcium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum that initiates muscle contraction by activating sarcomeres.
