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.
In biology, depolarization is a decrease in the absolute value of a cell's membrane potential. Thus, changes in membrane voltage in which the membrane potential becomes less positive or less negative are both depolarizations.
