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.
A third type of channel that is an important part of depolarization in the action potential is the voltage-gated Na+ channel. The channels that start depolarizing the membrane because of a stimulus help the cell to depolarize from -70 mV to -55 mV.
